> I think it's super cool that Olympia HS has a student run newspaper, but I don't think this is something that should be posted to HN.
Why shouldn't it? The thoughts and opinions of high schoolers matter just as much as those of adults.

I'm sure that high school journalism has some great outliers, but in general, I don't think we're the intended audience, nor that the journalistic standards are up to what we'd expect from a better source.
Did you read the article? It's six tiny paragraphs and provides hardly any actual data or reporting.
If this was a positive piece about AI of similar quality, I can't help but suspect you'd be responding differently.
That's a fair criticism that doesn't rely on the identity of the author.
I just meant to convey that "don't post a news piece from a high school newspaper" is a reasonable rough heuristic that might want to be applied before posting something here.
But...it's not purporting to be an opinion piece. It seems intended to be a factual news article.
If this was an opinion column, I'd almost be more inclined to give it a pass.
