I'm not sure if you've read many comments on here but there seem to be more people railing against generative AI than there are those sharing useful and interesting stories or critiques. It's one of the reasons I've been spending less time here, I used to be able to rely on HN for interesting perspectives on both cutting edge and historical tech related topics, often seeing insights from people sharing practical knowledge that was hard to find elsewhere. For the past year or two it's taken a hard turn towards a very spiteful and shallow gripe fest that feels like the same thing that happened to Reddit years ago when it took off in popularity. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me why people are coming here to complain about technology and it just adds a bunch of noise that you need to sift through if you are interested in the tech being discussed. Feels more like people fishing for upvotes by sharing their "hot take" which inevitably a cookie cutter opinion that you see all over social media without any original thought behind it.
