Can you please edit swipes out of your HN comments? Your post would be fine with just the first sentence.

What do you mean, "swipe"? The other person agreed they'd misjudged the article and apologised several hours before you wrote this.

"Does 'AI' pay your bills" was a gratuitous personal attack.

Is it? How? In your mind, does it imply some particular humiliation or something?

It's a variant of the "shill" argument, implying that the other person isn't posting in good faith.

Sorry, I don't follow. How do you arrive at that implication? Why would someone having a pecuniary interest in something necessarily make them insincere?

Perhaps one internet cliché can explain another: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
