This makes no sense to me - what's the opposite of AI astroturfing? Why are people complaining about it?

Ironically, your comment could easily be a failed comment from an astroturfing LLM tasked with criticising/disagreeing with people calling out LLMs.

FWIW, I checked your profile, I don't really think you're an LLM. The internet is hard now - sorry :(

I’m indeed a fleshy human :)

What I meant is that I’ve seen people complaining that the negativity towards AI on HN is manufactured and astroturfed. So we have people complaining on both ends of the debate.

I would bet that the AI booster side is way more astroturfed, but I’m very likely biased (I see genAI as a horrible mistake for human societies)

> (I see genAI as a horrible mistake for human societies)

GenAI is amazing, how we use it is so far a horrible mistake.

It’s technically very interesting and fascinating, but the incentives are horrible
