How to reduce PH comments drafted by bots, or don't you mind.

It looks to me that almost all comments for less popular launches sound pretty meaningless and as if they were written by ChatGPT. Maybe Producthunt could add a 'sounds like a a bot' option after using the three little dots to 'report', or at least rename the 'spam' option by 'spam or sounds like a bot'. What do you think?

Yes this would be super helpful - Hey @adityavsc is this something that could be considered?

Hey, PH added a report button for bots it seems: Community empowerment The ‘report’ link has been around for a long time, but it has become more important in recent weeks as we’ve seen an increase in ChatGPT-created comments. We had a great discussion with the community about AI comments, and although automatic detection comes with a whole host of challenges, it’s definitely top of mind. Last week, we added an AI-specific flag to the ‘report’ link as well, so please help us by flagging any bot-generated comments you find around the site.

Yeah I was wondering why my comments sounded phony... so they're mostly bots?
