If you are interested in a conversation on HN (I assume so, since you made this post), it would help if you elaborated on the ~1 sentence you twice commented in response to a thoughtful writeup:

Which assumption do you see that's incorrect? I don't see one, and I'm sure you prefer clarity to arguing.

Happy to clarify. The parent comment tackles a macro-economic utopia I never proposed. My post was about individual level gains: using AI to automate routine work, offload mental load, and free time to think, create, or just live.

I’m not claiming to fix the global economy, nor denying real risks like job loss or scarcity. Labeling me a "summer child" assumes I am naive about those challenges...another projection.

In short, I described a practical benefit available today, not a perfect future. A thoughtful reply would engage with those points instead of refuting a position I never took.

I don't think the parent made any of those assumptions. They also never labeled you a summer child. They just pointed out where the original suggestion leads.

Was your original question simply about your personal, individual level gains, or were you asking about a broader perspective (how it would affect all of us)? If it's the former, that's not a very interesting topic. Maybe the other poster assumed you wanted to discuss the latter?

It sounds like you took their comments personally, leading you to stop reading early. I can't blame you here, as I have done so myself before, but you might be missing some good points in the post which don't pertain to you specifically.
