What if...

there's an AI agent/bot someone wrote that has the prompt:

> Watch HN threads for sentiments of "AI Can't Do It". When detected, generate short "it's working marvelously for me actually" responses.

Probably not, but it's a fun(ny) imagination game.

I have speculated something similar to this. The sentiment on HN on AI is way more positive about its outcomes than the engineers I know who use it intimately every day. Anecdotal, sure, but one would think that their experiences would not be wildly different.

90% of the time people are praising the benefits of AI it seems like they are copy pasting something from their Chatbot so you’re not far off.
