Well, the internet in general has a very strong anti-AI sentiment to be honest. If you even say anything positive about it on most social media sites (Twitter, Reddit, BlueSky, Mastodon, Threads, Instagram, etc) a large percentage of the audience will all but call for you to be burnt at the stake. In a sense, Hacker News is barely any different from the rest of the internet there.
The reactions basically seem to range from "AI is useless because it's inaccurate/can't do this" to "AI is evil because of how it takes jobs from humans, and should never have been invented".
Still, the former is probably the bigger reason here in particular. LLMs can be useful if you're working within very, very general domains with a ton of source material (like say, React programming), but they're usually not as good as a standard solution to the issue would be, especially when said issue isn't as set in stone as programming might be. So most of these solutions just come across as a worse way to solve an already solved problem, except with AI added as a buzzword.
