alt Hacker NewsIt’s not. LLMs are just averaging their internet snapshot, after all.
But people want an AI that is objective and right. HN is where people who know the distinction hang out, but it’s not what the layperson things they are getting when they use this miraculous super hyped tool that everybody is raving about?

By now, a few years after ChatGPT released, I don't think anyone is thinking AI is objective and right, all users have seen at least one instance of hallucination and simply being wrong.

There are a lot of binary thinkers on HN, but they shouldn’t make up a majority.
The etiquette, even at the bigtech place I work, has changed so quickly. The idea that it would be _embarrassing_ to send a code review with obvious or even subtle errors is disappearing. More work is being put on the reviewer. Which might even be fine if we made the further change that _credit goes to the reviewer_. But if anything we're heading in the opposite direction, lines of code pumped out as the criterion of success. It's like a car company that touts how _much_ gas its cars use, not how little.
