alt Hacker News> if you feel that insecure about it, it's you that's the problem, not the haters who are always going to exist
Pulling this victim-blaming sentence out of context to show how ridiculous it is.
Given this stance, I think GPs reasoning for not publicly bragging about using AI makes perfect sense.
Why paint a target on your back? Why acquiesce to "show us your AI" just to be mobbed by haters?
Fuck that, let them express their frustrations elsewhere.
My dude, that's not "victim blaming" lol. Nobody's forcing you, personally, to do anything. I don't care if you, personally, publish your work or not.
What I'm saying is that _feeling_ of insecurity doesn't come from haters, because haters gonna hate, it's a sign that _your_ work might not be as good as you think it is, and you don't feel that you can stand behind it.
Also, managing public expectations and messaging is a thing professionals in many industries do all the time. It's not even particularly difficult, you just hear about it when it's bungled.
EDIT: To clarify, as a SWE, my work is available to anyone at the company. Any engineer I work can see what I've done, and the public sees it too, they just don't know about it, because if I screw up, the company will take the blame for it. You get very very very very used to critique in this role and taking responsibility for what you make and making the case for your technical solution.
