Not sure why anyone would hide those entries. This kind of thing is basically going to fuel our industry for the next 10 to 15 years.

Even if that's true, I'm sick of seeing the same half-baked opinions on the topic again and again.

No, it really won't. You can't replace software developers with linear algebra that writes essays at a sixth-grade level. Or, perhaps the bar really is that low, although high interest rates should help filter out most of the nonsense.

No it's more of developers will be integrating GPT into literally millions of locations. Every UI you will see soon will have a GPT integration. If you're trying to hide it in HN, good luck hiding it anywhere else.

Keep your fingers in your ears, you'll be regretting this attitude in 10 years.

I am not a huge fan of AI but I cannot deny this is probably biggest game changer since smartphones came out.

I find it a bit strange (although entirely predictable) that some people would try to forget about whole matter and hide from it as if it did not exist. The reality is that the IT world is going to go through some fundamental shifts in near future and very likely a lot of people will either lose jobs or do completely different work or do it with a completely different set of tools and skills.

We are now all trying to figure out what's in store for us and prepare for it, or be left out.

I find articles on HN actually pretty useful. And unlike some other hysterias, the whole preoccupation with AI to be healthy and useful.

Yes, it's neat. But you can play with the tool(s) without it being the only topic you consume day-in, day-out.

Missing HN submissions about it won't leave me/you/anyone a barbarian. :)

Probably the biggest tech advancement in the past 20 years, not sure why you'd want to hide this. Just the other day I wanted to pick up where I left off on 'Crime and Punishment' but couldn't remember all the long russian names... So I asked ChatGPT to give me a non-spoiler short description of the main characters ONLY from the first half of the book, and it worked flawlessly.

The problem is for every good article on the tech, there are dozens and dozens of submissions from crypto-grifter-turned-AI-expert or yet another "platform play" instead of something actually practical. Let's see more of the gold and fewer of the shovels, please.
