This is HN. Even with evidence people here get their feelings hurt and downvote. You cannot engage in conversation when one side is “the science is settled” mentality.

or in the case of AI, the majority of people are “wow this is useful and helpful” and then HN is like “it didn’t 1 shot answer from the first prompt I gave it so it’s useless”.

You only need to read every discussion on HN about AI. The majority here are against AI are also the same people who really have no idea how to use it.

So in the end there is no conversation to engage with because HN has tunnel vision. “Elon bad” “ai bad” “science bad” “anything not aligned with my political view bad”
