Not really. There's a hell of a lot of wading through junk, when you browse HN by "New". So much so that I maintain a special uBlock filter list to weed out a lot of crappy domains and keywords. That's one advantage of b

Consequently, these days: Over 60% of articles read like they were written by AI. Slightly less snarky response: I think it's odd that so many people fear AI stealing their writing jobs. I think I have a pretty good feel for when an a
