if i'm being frank, that doesn't match my experience with HN at all. chatgpt is the hot new thing, of course people here are preoccupied imagining a future powered with it.
there are a bunch of different types of people here, with different perspectives that might be at odds with one another, but they don't necessarily comment on the same articles.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoin general, i often post similar comments on HN, disputing the idea that there is such a thing as "HN groupthink". what puzzles me here is the the technical limitations of language models (i refuse to call them "large" because the sizes are going to change dramatically) seem so obvious and so well known, that i just find it hard to believe that there are more than a handful of people on HN who uncritically accept the idea that Bing is trying to sell.
- pixl97 4y agoWith that said I'm not sure the cynics on HN are scoring much better (we've predicted the last 5000 of 10 major failures meme). The cynic in me said crypto was overhyped by con men and mostly useless, and I was right. At the same time I said the same about most social media and yet the masses flocked to it to give their personal information away.

- eric_cc 4y ago> disputing the idea that there is such a thing as "HN groupthink". There 100% is HN groupthink. Any doubts about it should have been erased by observing HN’s position on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
