It's very tiresome. Like an idiot/savant, they're an idiot most of the time and every 10th try you go 'oh, but that's neat and clever'.
Nowhere in my comment did I say this, so this is quite a non-sequitur you've based the following personal attack upon. Regardless of whether it's possible to use LLMs to generate good things, the vast majority of things generated with them are not good, and if the good things exist, they are being drowned out in a sea of spam, increasingly difficult to discover along with the good human-generated content.
I have to say, I would characterise both your comment and the original comment I replied to as being considerably more "unfair" than mine. The first comment was clearly written in such a way to get a rise out of people. Your reply is directly insinuating that I'm out-of-touch and ranting at clouds.

Responsible people who use their knowledge to review LLM-generated code will produce more - up to their maximum rate of taking responsibility.
Irresponsible people will just smear shit all over the codebase.
The jury is out what's the net effect and the agents' level of sophistication is a secondary factor.
(edit: striked) <strike>Is it deliberate that this post appears as “Show HN” itself? I hope not to be too negative, but to qualify as such I would expect much more that a page with two graphs.</strike>
This is an interesting post, but not a Show HN.

Edit: maybe you could:
- remove outliers (anything that made the front page)
- normalise vote count by expected time in the first 20 posts of shownew, based on the posting rate at the time
I check in every few weeks and I don't understand how anyone can use that subreddit more frequently.
I assume the vast, vast majority never get any upvotes.
And there is also this https://dewmal.medium.com/hacker-news-is-a-living-time-capsu...
which also includes the average voting scores, which actually fall at the same time the quantity increases (while the average story scores remain the same), which is interesting.
Original title: "Data on AI-related Show HN posts More than 1 in 5 Show HN posts are now AI-related, but get less than half the votes or comments."
