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.
I've never seen anyone post a copy-and-paste of some pages of the Google search results while also excluding the search term, and I would find that bizzare. I would assume that you, like most people posting a Google search, would post the link to that search, which in the case of Google includes a copy of what would be equivalent to the prompt. In my experience, most people posting Google links would also include a short explanation of why they think it relevant were it not immediately obvious.

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.
