I read a lot of comments on HN that say something is not hard, yet don't provide a POC of their own or link to research they have knowledge of.
I also read a lot of comments on HN that start by attacking the source of the information, such as saying it was AI assisted, instead of the actual merits of the work.
The HN community is becoming curmudgeonly and using AI tooling as the justification.
- love2read 6mo agobecoming? under most posts that even in passing mention using AI tools there are multiple people raising their noses talking about how much they hate AI use
- pixl97 6mo agoEh, just the same people that have been killing tech forums and closing posts on stack overflow for like ever.
- theamk 6mo agoThat's how life generally works. If your friend tells you, "I went to that new movie yesterday. It was very boring, I fell asleep midway." - then you either listen to his advice or don't. You don't ask your friend if they ever made a movie of their own.. And you don't ask for a 3rd party research of that movie's either. As for AI specifically.. life is too short to read all the interesting pages already, and AI just makes is so much worse. - AI is verbose in general, so you are spending a lot of time reading and not getting much new facts out of that. - Heavy AI use often means that author has little idea about the topic themselves, and thus cannot engage in comments. Since discussion with authors are often most interesting part of HN, that makes submission less interesting. And yes, it is possible to use AI assistance to create nice and concise report on the topics you can happily talk about, but then this would not be labeled as "AI".
