I appreciate the vague negative takes on tools like this where it feels like there is so much hype it's impossible to have a different opinion. "It's bad" is perfectly substantiative in my opinion; this person tried it, didn't like it, and doesn't have much more to say because of that, but it's still a useful perspective.
Is this why HN is so dang pro-AI? the negative comments, even small ones, are moderated away? explains a lot TBH
There is no value in a single poster saying "it's bad". I don't know this person, there is zero context on why I should care that this user thinks it's bad. Unless they state why they think it's bad, it adds nothing to the conversation and is just noise
"After viewing identical samples of major network television coverage of the Beirut massacre, both pro-Israeli and pro-Arab partisans rated these programs, and those responsible for them, as being biased against their side."
The subject is pretty exhausted. The reason I post "it's bad" because, honestly, expending on it just feels like a waste of time and energy. The point is demonstrating that this _isn't_ a consensus, and not much more than that.
If it felt like a waste of time and energy to post something substantive, rather than the GP comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44998577), then you should have just posted nothing. That comment was obviously neither substantive nor thoughtful. This is hardly a borderline call!
We want substantive, thoughtful comments from people who do have the time and energy to contribute them.
Btw, to avoid a misunderstanding that sometimes shows up: it's fine for comments to be critical; that is, it's possible to be substantive, thoughtful, and critical all at the same time. For example, I skimmed through your account's most recent comments and saw several of that kind, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44299479 and
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42882357. If your GP comment had been like that, it would have been fine; you don't have to like Claude Code (or whatever the $thing is).
