> It's a GenAI subculture signifier Presumably, the point is to be a "written by a human" signifier

The signifier is to sound and write like Sam Altman, I think. It's perfectly possible to write in a style that doesn't sound like ChatGPT, which has the tone of a collection of college admissions essays written by perky, shallow people with no life experience.

I don't think that's really true. ChatGPT has a fairly neutral style of writing. It may vary a bit on the prompt I guess.

Kid's getting way too much hate for what seems to be quite a cool project! Oh he "just" put a UI in front of Trellis? Yes. He did. You didn't. Keep up the good work, gd3kr :)

Using "Blender" when not associated with "Blender" at all is a huge dick move.

Also, even though GPT is not trademarked, it is probably best to leave it out of any non-OpenAI product names.

It really does not. It has a noticeable style and affect/manner.

I didn't dismiss anyone's work, and I do find the upvote system to, at least in some cases, adequately represent the level interest on hn. The question was: > why does it matter how it works? and that's all my comment was intended to answer. Many people here are interested both in the idea of doing something enough to upvote AND are curious how something works. We're not necessarily just consoomers, we're often inter…

Sure, HNers are interested in explanations of how things work (I am too!). But you specifically said that without such an explanation, products should "go to Reddit" (which presumably means, they don't belong on HN). I'll leave whether that's a "dismissal of someone's work" or not up to you, but all I'm saying is: it's evident via voting that many HNers find BlenderGPT, a tech product, interesting, even with the lack…

> But you specifically said that without such an explanation, products should "go to Reddit" (which presumably means, they don't belong on HN)

I didn't imply anything about BlenderGPT at all, I just responded to a comment. Reddit is both an advertising platform for products of all kinds, and a conversation platform for broader categories of audiences, whereas SHOW HN is like a "here's my project/product, I hope you find it interesting, and here's a chance to ask me about it". If someone posts a Show HN, it's fair assume that if people find it interesting, they'll ask how it works, because we're going to be curious, and if a person is hypothetically not prepared for that, Show HN might not be the best place to post it. I didn't say any of that was true or false regarding BlenderGPT, it was just a general remark.

Gotcha. It sounds like you and I agree that tech products whose underlying workings might not be elaborated are still ok to be on Show HN!

Do you believe this was the nature of the thread? Seems appropriate to say you agree with me that Show HN is ideal for those who'd like to engage in some curious discussion about whatever it is they're posting, but without regard to whether or not that's a requirement.

They aren’t software, Blender foundation likely has exclusive use in that domain. I’m guessing if it was litigated it would come up, but that they’d prevail.

And this is not even just about software in a general sense, it's literally software that creates the same product: 3d models. Absolutely asking for trouble.

It's not just asking for troubly, it's malicious. Intentionally confusing people is not cool.

The reason I engaged in the thread is I didn't want OP to feel like their posting/their work was unappreciated. Putting myself in their shoes, I especially guessed that the "go to Reddit" comment would have felt dismissive.

I do agree that I (and most HNers) find explanations of inner workings interesting in Show HN (or anything on HN).

I also don't feel like people should be treated dismissively, but I think the GP in this subthread did qualify their initial impression enough, since OP did respond to them. It seemed to me like the person I responded to, a few replies deep, felt as though it was somehow overstepping to ask how something worked, and it was that take I was responding to, nothing backhanded toward OP, especially because they already established themselves to be as forthcoming as one might expect.

You may need to rename it, though, as this is not an official Blender project. [1] Even if "Blender" wasn't an officially trademarked name (which it is, in both the US and EU), standing on the shoulders of Open Source also means respecting their rules when it comes to using a project's name to market your own creation.

Maybe just call it “ChopperGPT” or some other synonym for “blender”
