There is good anti-AI content. I love reading articles concerning AI's limitations and the negative externalities of a world where we're increasingly outsourcing thought, and maybe even taste and authority, to unfeeling, soulless, unaccountable computers. What does wealth disparity look like in a world of billion dollar infrastructure rollouts?

"HackerNews AI Slop" is not that. HackerNews AI Slop (tm) is "Dropbox won't succeed because its just a wrapper around SFTP". It is low-effort drivel written by people who know a lot about one domain (software), and that gives them authority to speak on all domains (marketing, macroeconomics).

I read and appreciate articles that leave a mark on my heart; that raise novel viewpoints, or that are researched extraordinarily well. Yapping for the sixteenth time "they spend so much money markets crashy crashy bad bad" is so deeply boring, just another parroting voice in the echo chamber of ideas that everyone already knows. Challenge yourself. Be original. An AI could have written this article.
