I've also seen plenty of serious journalism and comments about ChatGPT destroying Google search, writing, journalism, art, education, and on HN the usual bits about countless programmers thoughtlessly copying/pasting buggy code into production without testing/QA/getting fired after the 3rd time, or even people shoving pills down their throat because they read some health stuff on ChatGPT without second thought. There's a lot of people getting hysterical about it... just like there's the usual true believer audience (see: new age/conspiracy/etc in the past and now crypto). Every major new change generates these extremes... and no its not unique to HN or crypto bros. Personally I'm skeptical things are getting worse because we still have the same reputation and social critique systems to keep these groups in check. But it's always good to keep on top of the current things these groups latch on to... including both doomers AND culty/conspiracy extremes.
