Dear Fellow Writers,

Any experience with drive-by and low-effort commenters who live short, blunt comments such as the stock phrase "Fully AI-created" and disappear (disabled profile)?
Any insight into this?

I've never seen this happen, but I'm not sure what the big deal is. I mean that literally. Can you not like hide unhelpful comments or something? Seems like something that could get out of control, but if it's just one or two every once in a while, it's not any worse than all the other bot comments really... Okay, it's a little worse.

--- someone created what they call a disposable account, for the express purpose of saying that that to you.
--- they created the same disposable account and ran around doing it to you and a ream of others.
--- another possibility someone got their work 404'd and they came back to just spread raspberries around.
in the wake of the great "translation" nuking, disgruntled translators ran around reporting "translations" that weren't.

Its a lot like a pleasant drive on a nice forested back road.
Quite nice, really.
Still the occasional roadkill laying there, nothing to be done about it.

you noticed the roadkill, that's all.
