How do you deal with the insane amount of spam/AI-generated comments here?

Yes, unfortunately, that problem exists. The developers periodically clean them up, but it's a Sisyphean task. Whenever I see them, I try to report.

Dealing with spam comments is like playing a never-ending game of whack-a-mole - exhausting but oddly satisfying when you slam that final pesky mole!

Oh, I really understand you, I received one comment with a dubious link, so I reported it. I think it can work if we help Product Hunt ourselves. And what about the launch day? I think we can do everything within our power. They may cheat to reach the top, but a good product with fair play will always earn loyal users in the end Best of luck🍀

Yeah it's super frustrating dealing with all the spam and fake comments from these AI bots. Some ideas that might help: 1) Require a certain karma level or account age to comment, that can filter out a lot of the spam accounts. 2) Use sentiment analysis AI to detect and auto-hide comments that seem spammy or AI-generated. 3) Let the community help moderate by flagging suspicious comments. 4) Ultimately, focus on fostering quality discussion from your real audience rather than worrying too much about the spam. Your genuine community will shine through. Hope this helps, interested to hear other ideas people have too!
