Meta comment: I understand why this was downvoted and am impressed (not complaining at all) but please keep in mind that the top of the thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34677527) was later hijacked by a completely unrelated sensationalist political issue. The initial comment that caused that was later deleted, yet somehow its responses remained at the top:

Been reading HN since 2006 or so and started going to meetups from it soon after that. A bit sad to see how threads can get hijacked by a comment as low value as "GPT is a calculator for words" directly into a sensationalist political issue.
