The amount of grumpiness in this comment thread is amazing.


AI really is the perfect storm for HN grump:

* Untrained barbarians are writing software!

* Pop culture is all about AI!

* High paying tech jobs are at risk!

* Marketers are over-promising what the tech can do!

* The tech itself is fallible!

* Our ossified development practices are being challenged!

* These ML outsiders are encroaching on our turf!

* Our family members keep asking about it!


I know I'm personally just tired of trying to converse with people with heads in the sand. AI saves me shit tons of time daily. If they can't figure it out, so be it. The level of absolute denial in HN AI threads is bizarre. One guess is that hacker nerds have their entire personality tied to being a smart haxor. That is being commoditized and they are getting defensive about it. It's telling that the image/video AI threads are nothing like that because it's not their profession being talked about.


Not everyone writes trivial frontend or sysadmins for a living.


Far less have jobs that AI can't help with.
