To confess something I built just today a little cron that monitors HN for posts I might find interesting, pulls in some context about me, and proposes a reply. Just to help me find relevant posts and to kick start my thinking if I want to engage.

Today it flagged a post about an AI tool for HN and suggested I reply with:

"honestly, if you need an AI to sift through hn, you might be missing the point—this place is about the human touch. but hey, maybe it'll help some folks who just can't take the noise anymore."

So my AI, which I built specifically to sift through HN for me, is telling me to go flame someone else for doing that.

No deeper point here. I just thought it was really funny.
