Are you for real? Quantity is not equal to Quality.
I'll be sure to dump a pile of trash in your living room. There wasn't much there before, but now there is lots of stuff. Better right?
I'm finding it hard to reconcile HN's love of AI generated code with HN's dislike of AI generated content. Why is the code good but the content bad?
I think both are bad when the focus is quantity over quality. The vast majority of AI generated content is lazy and of low quality. This is just a natural consequence of making things easy. Gate keeping is actually good sometimes. Doesn’t mean there isn’t good, well curated content out there that AI was used to help make, but I think the vast sea of crap that AI enables is not worth the few gems that come with it.
