We've seen a lot of growth in AI comment generators lately – auto-creating comments and replies based on available info. Do you think apps like these are positive or detrimental to community-focused platforms like Product Hunt?
Fwiw, we're aware that many folks are already choosing to use these kinds of services on Product Hunt. We're actively working on ways to address it, but I'm curious how our community feels about this type of engagement.

I've noticed that the responses ChatGPT will generate are either dry or lack a personal touch, even with good prompts. I've fallen into a pattern of getting it's take on a response and then either rewriting it using the general idea or just throwing it away and writing it from scratch.

It just makes it easier to comment. But those are AI generated. Nothing of what the person feels.
Maybe the person never even checked your content/product out and just commented to reach people🤷🏻♀️
Honestly not for me - a strong community is built on mutual trust and vulnerability. The prospect that whole comments are generated by AI reduces that trust factor for me, and makes it less likely for me to engage.
The responses remind me of Data from Star Trek and it's entertaining sometimes to try and figure out if a response is AI generated or not, but all this distracts me from the discussion itself.

Isn't it the fact that comments are meant to be humane (unless spamming events) to engage while AI-generated contents are more relevant for articles and blogs?

I'm not a big fan of AI-generated comments!
I feel there has to be a human touch because in the end, we're supporting people and their products :)

Well, would you like any of the responses in this thread to be AI generated?
