> I've noticed a huge drop in negative comments on HN when discussing LLMs in the last 1-2 months.

real people get fed up of debating the same tired "omg new model 1000x better now" posts/comments from the astroturfers, the shills and their bots each time OpenAI shits out a new model

Simply this ^ I'm tired of debating bots and people paid to grow the hype, so I won't anymore I'll just work and look for the hype passing by from a distance. In the meanwhile I'll keep waiting for people making actual products with LLMs that will kill old generation products like windows, excel, teams, gmail etc that will replace slop with great ui/ux and push really performant apps

Especially when 90% of these articles are based on personal, anecdotally evidence and keep repeating the same points without offering anything new.

If these articles actually provide quantitative results in a study done across an organization and provide concrete suggestions like what Google did a while ago, that would be refreshing and useful.

(Yes, this very article has strong "shill" vibes and fits the patterns above)

You're only hurting yourself if you decide there's some wild conspiracy afoot here to pay shills to tell people that coding agents are useful... as opposed to people finding them useful enough to want to tell other people about it.

This is a cringe comment from an era of when "Micro$oft" was hip and reads like you are a fanboi for Anthropic/Google foaming at the mouth.

Would be far more useful if you provided actual verifiable information and dropped the cringe memes. Can't take seriously someone using "Microslop" in a sentence".
