While I'm sympathetic to the sentiment, the ongoing automation of intelligence is, for better or worse, one of the most consequential things that can/will happen to "hackers" (as well as white-collar workers in general), and it is very difficult for us to look away from that asteroid in the sky.
Surprised you put "hackers" in quotes but not intelligence.
"Hackers" because the term in the context of "Hacker News" is broad and hard to define. Intelligence is, too, but I'm not in the business of pretending that the AI systems aren't some form of intelligent.
