every other article these days on this site is about AI. And it's incredibly tedious and annoying.

Isn't it enough that clueless marketers who get their Tech knowledge from businessinsider and bloomberg are constantly harping on about AI.

Seems we as a community have resigned or given up in this battle against common sense. Maybe long ago. Still there should be some form of moderation penalizing these shill posts that only glorify AI as being the future, ... the same way that not everything about crypto or the blockchain ended up on the FP. Seems with AI we're looking the other way and are OK with it?

Or maybe it's me.

Because almost once a quarter there's a big release that raises the expectations for top AI companies. Which brings up discussions, new articles and eventually posts in the front page.

2020-2022 HN front page was full of crypto news, mostly in negative light, but still. And before that there was more hot bubble topics. It's very usual.
