Or maybe these are people who learned from a LLM that English is supposed to sound like this if you want to be permitted to communicate a.k.a. "to be taken into consideration"! Which is wrong and also kinda sucks, but also it sucks and is wrong for a kinda non-obvious reason.
Or, bear with me there, maybe things aren't so far downhill yet, these users just learned how English is supposed to sound, from the same place where the LLMs learned how English is supposed to sound! Which is just the Internet.
AI hype is already ridiculous; the whole "are you using an AI to write your posts for you" paranoia is even more absurd. So what if they are? Then they'd just be stupid, futile thoughts leading exactly nowhere. Just like most non-AI-generated thoughts, except perhaps the one which leads to the fridge.
Or maybe the 2 month old account posting repetitive comments and using the exact patterns common to AI generated comment is, actually, posting LLM generated content.

FYI, spammers love LLM generated posting because it allows them to "season" accounts on sites like Hacker News and Reddit without much effort. Post enough plausible-sounding comments without getting caught and you have another account to use for your upvote army, which is a service you can now sell to desperate marketing people who promised their boss they'd get on the front page of HN. This was already a problem with manual accounts but it took a lot of work to generate the comments and content.
