It's a spam account, like nearly all submissions about AI their account is just self promotion history. Together with the subject matter I'd expect nothing but lazy bullshit.

One thing I don't understand then is why Hackernews upvotes these posts when there are some other SHOW HN posts which sometimes are so much nicer and thoughtful like (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47589735) etc.

our community is shooting a gun in its own feet if it continues to upvote complete self promotion, I try to upvote as many cool projects I find here but the number games is definitely frustrating

Are we entirely sure that this person hasn't used AI bot to upvote his comments to front page, I wish to much rather believe that than people upvoting it especially when most if not all comments are about how it feels extremely AI slop.

maybe such forms of (rage/click bait?) truly sells in that regards and HN isn't so invulnerable as (I) we think it is.
