Somehow, on HN, suggesting to use an LLM to solve some problem gives you negative responses.

But then ... posting to HN that you've used an LLM to solve a problem is OK?

Reddit has the same phenomenon where the audience doing the upvotes is very different to the audience posting comments. As I'm in the second group I would love to say it's because people who read comments are smarter than those who just look at the main content. Smarter or not it's a different userbase and it creates some conflict.

Seems like the divide between the voters who vote in the Primaries and the voters who vote in the actual Election. Vocal minority vs. Silent majority.

I can't say I've seen the same universally, but, if it is s trend, it would seem one invites discussion between humans on the site while the other seeks to minimize it.
