Ask HN: Where have all the humans gone?

Is it just me or does HN seem under a deluge of bot submissions, comments and even full conversations?

    Where are we? Probably talking to AI instead of posting, of course, getting our dopamine kick out of an autotelic dialogue, then moving on to the next thing.

    But seriously, I haven't seen actual back and forth exchanges between bots, maybe those don't make it to the front page or get downvoted to death quickly? Some people do proofread their comments with AI before posting though.

      Yes! What do you think the voting rings vote against or for?

      I feel like they're mostly anti-vaxxers, with a side of pro-Trump.
