The problem was never whether people should discuss the value of AI (from either side even, as much as I don't want to hear about it myself) in the right places, it was how AI conversation constantly gets dragged outside its box! Recall the original comment which responded to you, being in a thread completely unrelated to AI:
> The real slop is dragging AI into every conversation.
By all means - debate AI in an AI thread or make thread about how much AI sucks and discuss it there. Just don't insist on bringing AI into even more places it shouldn't be as if that's going to solve the very problem of AI discussion being too common to avoid! It's easy enough to avoid an entire AI thread and its hundreds of comments at a glance but, thanks to people like you who don't respect the point of separating discussions of different topics into different places, it's impossible to feel you can go read something and know you'll avoid hearing about how great/horrible AI is in ANY conversation! 100% possibility annoyance in any place on HN sure is a lot worse to deal with than seeking out and posting links just to show actually easy to avoid annoyance is not exactly 0%.
This is why you're continued use of additional links to more AI trite in this thread is so ironic/opposing to the goal, not because I think AI needs fewer critics pointing things out in the relevant discussions.
