This article is about the Economist's summary of a journal article so we have a (AI?) summary of a summary. Not very helpful. Here are a couple of better references:

HN needs some kind of functionality to aggressively filter out slop posts and de-activate the accounts that are boosting them. As of late, a large volume of both news-related and Show-HN posts have been blatant AI trash that contributes nothing to the community.
