I'm so tired of reading things in this imbecilic ChatGPT voice. I'm going to start flagging the most egregious AI slop, following my interpretation of the guidelines:

> If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it

Dang, feel free to let me know if this is an inappropriate use of flagging.

Yep, clearly written by AI. Seems like an SEO-type play where they just have AI do deep research and write these reports on as many categories as possible to get traction.

Pretty smart business idea as I imagine people love ragebait about why products aren't as good as they used to be.

Tip: Emailing the moderation team at hn@ycombinator.com is more effective (and more welcome, I believe) than invoking @dang in comments. They and the rest of the team are preturnaturally responsive.
Thanks, I'll do that.
I don't believe submitting AI slop is against the guidelines.
