People having preferences different from you is not a hive mind.

Of course not. I didn't say anything like that. But I do see a consistent trend here regarding hostility to AI. It seems to be a pattern, and a strange one. I've never had someone angry at me for posting a Google search, for example.

  I've never seen anyone post a copy-and-paste of some pages of the Google search results while also excluding the search term, and I would find that bizzare. I would assume that you, like most people posting a Google search, would post the link to that search, which in the case of Google includes a copy of what would be equivalent to the prompt. In my experience, most people posting Google links would also include a short explanation of why they think it relevant were it not immediately obvious.

    >I've never seen anyone post a copy-and-paste of some pages I have. For example, I was looking for a bathmat. My wife pasted me a list. Just a week ago. I don't think my wife is bizarre. It's unfortunate that you do.

      I said I would find the action bizarre ("that", not "them"). Personally, I don't find it unfortunate to admit that some things still surprise me. If you choose to interpret that as judgement of your wife as a person, then that is up to you.

        She just wanted to show me what she wanted; I don't think she wanted to encourage me to choose a different color. SO BIZZARE!

        Again, you are free to interpret my comments however you wish. My primary intent was to express my belief that people having different preferences to you regarding reading AI output does not constitute some bizzare hivemind, which you appear to have accepted. Your preferences regarding communications between yourself and your wife are none of my business. I recognise preferences may exist, and I am not one to kink-shame.

        My dearest dude - You called my wife bizarre. Then you said "TECHNICALLY, I didn't call your WIFE bizarre I called her ACTIONS bizarre." I would ask you to stop talking to me, but it seems unlikely to work. So. You have a nice day, now.

        You're the one who decided to imagine that a reasonable discussion comment was an attack on your wife. You're also the one who started out calling things bizarre. As somebody not involved in this discussion, to me it looks like drama-seeking behavior.

        I do think that the anti-AI mentality around here is bizarre. I do not think that forwarding a listing from Google is bizarre. These seem like reasonable positions to me. I am very sorry if my voicing these beliefs makes you uncomfortable.

        I'm not uncomfortable or upset. I'm just a long-time HN denizen pointing out some behavior I think is toxic to a healthy community. You're vigorously trying to make reasonable people look bad. I knew you wouldn't like me pointing it out, but the comment wasn't really for you. It's for the other reasonable people who are having to read or endure your bad behavior.
