I get your point but it goes too far in the opposite direction. We should now discuss absolutely nothing in relation to Sora and genAI videos? That seems overly charitable to the platform.

Here, let me try this approach:

Read the main comment out loud to yourself while imagining it’s someone sitting at a table at a pub.

Now imagine someone turning to this person in the pub, and speaking the subsequent comment, word for word.

No seriously, try it out.

		Agreed. I did try this out! So the reply to the original comment is dumb. I actually dismissed it for being flippant. Your reply is more interesting. Hence my (albeit maybe snarky) chiming in. So the original comment does end at a very specific app/sora related conclusion. "Sora didn't keep us coming back." If I may amend your scenario: imagine this bar is actually in the center of SF or across the street from Open-AI or whatever. We're on HN discussing a post on X about Sora. The appeal to humanity is not wrong. My point is more let's keep the connection with that humanity in relation to AI, to Sora, to what's going on in this forum.
