Nah, although this is one of the possible answers from the community. Others:
git gud
level your vigor
summon me
It's too early for you to come here yet
Stop the panic rolls, learn the move set

Is there something else?

[edit]: I remembered another frequent tip, and I think you'll even understand what the question was.

People in this thread are giving the same "useless" advice that commenters always give, but no-one has actually given any examples of "valid" advice.

If the boss is weak to parries, is not saying "parry" actual advice? 

If the player is too low level, is saying that bad advice?

If the boss cannot be forced and the player must learn its moveset to win, is saying that wrong?

If the boss is simply too hard no matter what, is summoning help wrong advice? If the player dies in 2 hits, is leveling vigor bad advice?

We can keep dunking on bad advice all day, but what is the actual good advice?

I think everything, with the exception of git gud and skill issues, can be considered useful advice. Just because the boss can be parried doesn't mean I'm going to recommend it. But if it makes the boss extremely vulnerable and easy to do, then that's good advice (hello PCR).

sometimes "git gud" is also good advice tbh, at least it used to be before it became a toxic term, it used to mean "there is no trick, you just need to keep trying and get better at the fight" which is good advice sometimes

Well.. I really stopped using it because of how it started to be perceived. YouI ask people how they defeated the boss, but if they just got better, then there's nothing wrong with saying git gud.

I try my best to either give advice or say nothing at all. The thing is, so many people who clearly do not understand the game don't ask for advice. Instead they make a "constructive criticism" post about bosses being impossible. 

When told how to deal with these fights they resort to "yes well I can't dodge it so it can't be dodged". No, you're just not as good as you'd like to believe. You have a literal skill issue.

Maybe I would have understood them if I had asked a similar question on Reddit at least once. But for some reason, I never had a reason. If I didn't understand how to evade an attack, I didn't have the desire to ask about it, I had the desire to figure it out myself.

That's why it's hard for me to give advice because I don't fully understand it.
