Maybe the name is not so fitting as Loki is a name in Norse Mythology. Known for deceiving and lying which is basically the opposite you're trying to do :)
Maybe it's on purpose. Who could better know the patterns of liars than the god of lying.

When coming up with a name for something, the significance of the name should be the first thing that comes to mind, not the opposite thing or a thing that requires explanation. When people say the name of your tool, you won’t always be there to explain it.

Discord comes to mine although I know it's a play on Eris (Free Net), same as Slack is a nod to Uncle Bob

Dead internet.
Have to agree with you, every comment from the product creator reads like a chatGPT response.
I'm a native English speaker, and traditionally when it comes to formal/professional written English (emails etc.) my instincts take me to sounding quite GPTish - luckily I've got a good grasp of the language and have found it fairly easy to alter my formal writing style to be a bit less traditional and a bit less formal too, but if it wasn't my first language and I wasn't a fair bit above average in writing ability even for native speakers, I suspect it wouldn't be nearly as easy to go against how I was taught at school to write in formal situations.
It's really not enough to see that somebody writes roughly in that style to assume they're using LLMs, because the reason LLMs so often sound like that is because they've learned from humans very often sounding like that.
In an example such as this particular case, it maybe set off your LLM suspicions because culturally you wouldn't expect somebody to sound so formal in comments on a site like HN, and choosing the wrong tone of voice for the context is something an LLM is likely to do - but actually, if a) English isn't your first language nor part of your primary culture, and b) you're wanting to make a good impression as the subject of the thread is something you've created and are therefore essentially acting as a spokesperson for in the comments, then all of a sudden writing formally rather than as if writing throwaway forum comments makes sense rather than looking like an indication that AI wrote it.
