    To explain: I posted that comment because your post was not actually asking (or telling) hn anything substantive. You encountered an entirely mundane piece of technology - an ineffective chatbot, which is hardly either new or novel - and basically used Ask to publish a low-effort blog post recounting the encounter. I dont see any attempt to draw anything deeper from what happened. If this had been posted on a blog, or on x/mastodon/whatever, and submitted to hn in the normal way, then I'm sceptical that it would have been noticed. But yeah, it got up-votes and my comment was down-voted. I just don't think that's what matters here.

Thanks for your explanation.
