Has Hacker News quietly become an AI forum?
How come AI-related posts get so many points on HN?
A Hacker News post asks why AI-related stories dominate the front page, drawing 2 points and one comment. The author wonders whether the community has collectively rebranded Hacker News as a platform for discussing AI, and suggests that too many people love to argue harshly about it.
Have we all decided to rebrand Hacker News as a platform for discussing AI?

AI discussions attract people who love it, who hate it and who are tired of hearing about it. All three groups end up opening the thread and commenting.

If the latest AI swarm from OAI decided to astroturf HN, we probably would struggle to know. It seems easy relative to coordinating a massive hack of Hugging Face.
So I half stopped paying attention to enthusiastic posts and comments about AI.

A lot of people here are AI brained, unfortunately.
