We're all engineers here, you can't handwave all arguments as "luddites"

That means you'll have to, you know, actually use your brain and try to construct an argument on how any of this is good for people.

Don't do this. HN has no interview, screening, or application process.

There's plenty people here on HN who are not even programmers. For a long time there were a significant amount of people here who were literally GME bagholders in a cult FFS

There is no reason to believe HN is any different than any other comments selection beyond some very minimal self selection bias, and that doesn't self select for competence. The self selection is "doesn't mind minimal UI"

Okay, sure, but we are probably all interested in tech. I know I am! Being interested in tech, though, doesn't mean that I blindly trust any and all new tech and marketing.

I mean, what OpenAI is saying about their value is marketing. It's sales. It's not technical. Doubting them doesn't make anyone a luddite.
