I remember skimming this article. My initial feeling was that it was written by someone who wasn't a native English speaker. It seems like I'll have to pay more close attention to that feeling in the future.

#26I think GPT-3 could be blessing for Reddit and HN type forums. Add some GPT-3 content and links into the feed. Decrease the vote weight for users who upvote them and increase vote weight for those who downvote them.
So, you’re experimenting on users without their knowledge? There’s a thing called ethics. You might want to look into that.
Isn't every single ad ever created experimenting on users without their knowledge? I.e., will the user click on this ad or buy the product if we show them this content? That has much greater probability of adverse consequences for the user than the proposed experiment.

The problem is that it's also true. Comments like that decrease the quality of the discussion by attacking the "author" rather than the content.
(If the commenter had written even a couple sentences on why they suspected GPT-3, I would feel differently.)
