How can HN be so pro-AI for the rest of the world, but anti-AI on HN?

Do we not think that other people want to see words, pictures, software, and videos created by humans too?

HN is not a single entity, but many people with varying views.

  • "A flock of sheep is not a single entity, but a group made up of distinct individuals", the sheep yells to onlookers, as it runs, with the rest off the flock in tow, off the edge of the cliff, and into the sea below.

Astroturfing with AI generated comments about AI, it feeds itself. By definition, the intent os to make real people think there's consensus formed around an issue by other humans.
