I don't want to paint your comment as pro-AI brigading, but in the solution to any problem, considering the collaterals is a pillar principle of engineering. You don't get praise for solving a bug infestation problem by nuking the city.

I feel some of the recent HackerNews stories start leaning a bit too much toward using AI regardless of whether it makes sense. A solution to any problem, however interesting or clever should be critiqued holistically, alternatives included.
