I know, you were trying very hard to list a tiny, tiny subset of activities people do with OpenAI’s APIs, so as to steer clear of the vast majority of use cases where you would have to concede the point. And you again avoided answering my points. At this point it’s rather clear you’re not arguing in good faith. Totally disagree that it is because of how good the content is. I posted the same exact thing twice - one time it got 0 or 1 upvotes and the other time it got 150 and made the front page! Same exact link. Rather, it is survivorship bias. You see the stuff thag made it. The celebrities on Twitter have entire departments working to make sure their content has likes and comments. In fact a decade ago I worked in digital agencies thag made Facebook apps and they all bought 50,000 non-organic “likes” to bootstrap the campaign / app. Nearly everyone who is successful does it. Practically any channel or forum that you’ve ever heard of got that way because they started off with some dedicated people / team members hanging out there every day and not behaving “organically”. Even worse, every very successful forum or celebrity got there by leveraging the existing social capital of some network or organization. Most of it is NOT organic at ALL. I am surprised that you would be so naive to think that putting up a forum with no comments is all you need to do to become a well-trafficked forum. PS: I brought up your concerns, which I share regarding the vast majority of AI applications, in a Discuss HN post. It got 14 upvotes and 7 comments in a few minutes, and then was flagged. Two hours later it was unflagged but by that time all momentum has cooled. I can assure you that far larger business models are at stake and far larger interests do not want this conversation to happen, than my little app. If you actually cared about this issue, you’d care about seeing it everywhere it exists: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35688266 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35688266
