I think currently the bot is more noticeable than where it will when we have cleared out the 2023/2024 backlog. Usually the bot just makes a comment on a post when it reaches 100 karma, but since we are just starting it, it’s leaving a lot of comments at the same time whenever older posts get voted on that don’t yet have a market.
The key UI component I care about is actually not the comment (which was just the most natural place to put this information), but the way the post shows up in post-lists:
The karma number gets a slightly different (golden-ish) color, and then you can see the likelihood that it ends up at the top of the review on hover as well as at the top of the post.
The central goal is to both allows us to pull forward a bunch of the benefits of the review, and to create a more natural integration of the review into the everyday experience of the site.
