The mere presence does seem to a offend. HN has what seems to be on average a more negative appraisal of AI than the industry average (based on where new software jobs/funding are going), but some of the comments I read seem to imply that this page is swamped by endless AI hype posts devoid of substance.

My first instinct reading these comments is "are we on the same website?", but I realize their perspective is possibly skewed by a strong visceral dislike of AI as an affront to many fundamental things they like about software and tech. It's become a tribal conflict, based on the ethos of "whose side are you on" rather than a sober appraisal of the facts, benefits, and legitimate hazards.
