People are generally sick of AI, and of people who bring AI up in every single comment thread. The downvoters may not realise that TFA is by an AI company, about an AI product, making your comment tangentially relevant, and not (strictly-speaking) an example of the behaviour they're fed up with.

Heh yeah it very well could be. I am also fed up with AI everywhere but I don't go out downvoting everyone and everything who mentions it - and definitely not where the whole context is about it.
