This article is being downvote-brigaded HARD wherever it gets posted on the internet right now.

Interesting.

not here (no downvotes for posts on HN), and i dont think it's particularly interesting either.

anti-ai posts get downvoted by pro-ai people/bots. pro-ai posts get downvoted by anti-ai people/bots. (i suspect one of these teams has more bots than the other, but that's just a guess). in any case, the world keeps spinning.

anti-ai-bots? people who dislike LLM et al use LLM to repeat what is public opinion anyway? like, where?

downvoting a post doesn't require an LLM. an old-fashioned bot can do it just fine.

and there can be several motivations for it (e.g. downvoting a competition's posts, someone upset with how much pro-ai stuff there is on their favorite subreddit, etc.)

HN doesn’t have downvotes for posts…

Right, we have flags. And this post has been flagged off the front page of HN even with 150 upvotes in less than 2 hours...

So HN isn't included in the "wherever it gets posted on the internet" since it's implied that "wherever" needs downvote capabilities. Doesn't make the sentence any less true - you just read too much into it.
