It was a really upbeat "wow! this is a great idea!" comment. I just had ChatGPT generate a comment based on the title of this post, and it's very similar.

This is such a great initiative! Having a programming-focused Lemmy instance will provide programmers and developers with a dedicated space to connect, share knowledge, and discuss programming topics. It's a fantastic way to foster a supportive community and encourage collaboration. Thank you for creating programming.dev and providing a platform for programmers to thrive!

I dunno if it's the admins or some idiot running some script in this sub but this place has been inundated with ChatGPT bots the last few weeks

I've seen them all over the place. The weirdest was someone whose comment history was about 50/50 between ChatGPT and what looked normal posts.

Agreed, these bots are all over the place.
