I feel that my life has been improved by all three of these. I hadn't seen the "hysterical clickbait" one before you pointed it out, so thank you even though clearly that was the opposite of your intent.

Maybe HN needs some reflection, and satire is one of the best ways to provide it.

It's funny, the OP doesn't have an ulterior motive, and it's close to the holidays so it is not cannibalizing more important news. There's no harm here.

I dunno, sounds like "rapid product iteration to find product-market fit" to me.

Seriously! I'll admit the first post was mighty fun. But now this is turning into an AI-spam-fest! I objected in the 2nd thread but got downvoted. Apparently the community here thinks this kind of low effort Reddit-style humor is now on-topic for this place!

Not to mention the systematic downvoting of every comment that is critical of these spam posts!

reminds me of how people used to shove autotune into anything and people lapped it up like the slop that it was and this is. but, as with that slop, this will also get boring to the masses. there's only so much "I told an llm to pretend it was deadpool by way of ryan reynolds" that people actually like. the novelty is the brunt of it. and, like with autotune, when used well, people will continue to appreciate it. just ride out the hyperslop, for now.

I've done it before. Projects about hn on hn get a lot of attention.

They're a lot of fun! And super easy to vibe code, if I'm looking to test a new model.

It's hard to restrain myself from navel-gazing, the lint in there is fascinating.

I'm not sure they satisfy curiosity as much as many posts with fewer votes, but that's okay.
