In almost every AI-related post, there's a good number of comments from newer accounts that describe AI tools with uncritical enthusiasm. They seem like propaganda-ish bots that are all over Reddit programming subs. I know "AI labs" thrive on this type of post and comment, but this seems a bit too much, honestly. I'm not saying LLMs aren't useful for coding, but they're not magical in any sense.
A few questions for the community: Are you seeing similar patterns? Do you think this is somewhat avoidable in some way or the hype just have to tear off?
Maybe I'm overthinking it. But I'm curious about others' opinions on maintaining discussion quality around this topic, it's starting to be strange.
