Many different people in this HN submission have given you similar feedback: given that, you should consider that your priors are not correct.

It could also be that this site has created its own hive-mind environment. Which is especially and bizzarely intolerant of AI at the moment.

I don't want the prompt - I may not have access to an LLM to evaluate it. The entire argument here is misguided, and deeply angry about AI.

It's equivalent to answering a question with "google it". Which is often times just plain rude.

    People having preferences different from you is not a hive mind.

      Of course not. I didn't say anything like that.

      But I do see a consistent trend here regarding hostility to AI. It seems to be a pattern, and a strange one.

      I've never had someone angry at me for posting a Google search, for example.

    Really? I wonder where else you haunt because this is the most pro-AI place I'm around, both in fervor and number.

      Well - as one example - today I found someone doing a "Show HN" about an AI system that will make an entire game for you via a chat interface.

      The topmost comments were ugly attacks.

      For HN, like with other polarizing topics, it also very much depends on which articles you look at.

There are also many others stating the same things - and they are getting flagged and downvoted for it.

Just because those of you who disagree are more vocal, downvote and flag-happy doesn't make you right.
