Well I never said the article had anything to do with AI art. I have simply noticed a pattern of almost everyone agreeing that AI generated art is bad and harms real artists, while simultaneously agreeing that AI generated code is great and only helps programmers.
My post was fairly low effort though I'll give you that. It seems to have pushed a few people's buttons none the less lol.
There's another story on HN posted today about balancing money and meaning and one of the top comments is a sarcastic put-down about the AI generate image at the top of the blog post. If the author had used AI to create the web page they'd almost certainly receive similar praise as the comments on this one. Both AI's are trained on other people's work, yet you seem to think even pointing this out is unfair. Very strange imo.
