What is it that makes some people on HN pop up to always respond to any issue with AI with a version of "it was always this way, the problem always existed, AI does nothing fundamentally new". When it's clear that huge leaps in scale, coordination, and output quality accessible to anyone, are exactly what produces "new" use cases. Not to mention that swarms of agents are a fundamentally new thing, that doesn't require humans in the loop at all. Notice that this phenomenon didn't happen as much on HN for other technologies, e.g. when the iPhone came out, very few people said "well, this is nothing new, computers existed for a long time, this is just minituarizing it and unplugging it from the wall."
