It's one of the failure modes of online forums. Everyone piles on and you get an unrealistic opinion sample. I'm not exactly trying to shove AI into everything, I'm weary of over hyping and mostly conservative in my technology choices. Still, I get a lot out of LLMs and agents for coding tasks.

i have trouble understanding how a forum of supposedly serious coders can be so detached from reality, but I do know that this is one of HN’s pathologies

		I think it's more of a thread-bound dynamic rather than HN as a whole. If the thread starts positive you get "AGI tomorrow", if the thread starts negative you get "stochastic parrot". But I see what you mean, there have been at least a few insane comment sections for sure.
