It's not Musk, per se; it's that Musk is conflicting with The Narrative(TM), thus is a target. At least HN is better than Reddit, which is jam-packed with human NPCs, who react in similarly predictable ways without intelligence. A recent Reddit post discussed something positive about Texas. The replies? Hundreds, maybe thousands, of comments by Redditors, all with no more content than some sneering variant of "Fix your electrical grid first", referring to the harsh winter storm of 2021 that knocked out power to much of the state. It was something to see. If we can dismiss GPT as "just autocomplete", I can dismiss all those Redditors in the same way; as NPCs. At least GPT AI can produce useful and interesting output.
