alt Hacker NewsIt's the natural response. AI fans are routinely injecting themselves into every conversation here to somehow talk about AI ("I bet an AI tool would have found the issue faster") and AI is forcing itself onto every product. Comments dissing anything that sounds even remotely like AI is the logical response of someone who is fed up.
Every other headline and conversation having ai is super annoying.
But also, its super annoying to sift through people saying "the word critical was used, this is obviously ai!". not to mention it really fucking sucks when you're the person who wrote something and people start chanting "ai slop! ai slop!". like, how am i going to prove is not AI?
I can't wait until ai gets good enough that no one can tell the difference (or ai completely busts and disappears, although that's unlikely), and we can go back to just commenting about whether something was interesting or educational or whatever instead of analyzing how many em-dashes someone used pre-2020 and extrapolating whether their latest post has 1 more em-dashes then their average post so that we can get our pitchforks out and chase them away.
