No it's not.

It's drowning in low quality human NPC comments.

Maybe that's because all resources are tied up fighting AI, but it's been going on for a long time now.

This post is a great example of low quality. No evidence, no solution. Just NPC bitching.

Unless it's AI, then well played.

Rocket League and HN were probably 90% of my free time until this year. Destroyed by AI. HN doubly so, since every post is about it too. The addictions are still there, but it's decreasing really fast.

I get the joke and I myself called it awhile back, I just thought we had a bit more time.

We need more jokes on HN. It's the only good way to prove you're human these days.

The dumb jokes we've been flooded with June 2023 are some of the easiest content for AI to produce.

I wonder what the breakdown is between AI-generated comments and AI-assisted comments. If I write anything substantial, I run it through the following prompt: "Please rewrite the following message for clarity, spelling, and grammar, but only return the revised text without any additional commentary."
