Interesting account. That comment looks completely real and on topic, even though it sounds a bit like a bot that picked paragraphs from different articles and pasted them to make a real comment.
Here’s their application:
The reason they were banned is because they instantly made a community for their shady premium APK site and that one sounded exactly like a spambot lol
They also have a quora account that sounds less human than here. Half answering questions with an opening paragraph and then nothing, or just completely out of topic.
If bots are able to start bypassing verification we’ll have to step up our game. Sigh. Just leave us alone, nobody here is gonna click your links.
It’s possible to both manually make posts and comments and do it automatically on the same account. They could have written the application manually and them started running a script once they knew they were approved.

I thought that was a bot that posted the body of the article.
Me too at first, but the sentences don’t appear anywhere on Google nor do they appear in the twitter thread or the forbes article.
Maybe an ai-driven bot? I fucking hope that doesn’t exist yet.

Could be a GPT bot.
That would be pretty easy to do, and I know of multiple that already exist, though not on Lemmy.
