We are sympathetic, but it's still not OK to fulminate on HN, no matter what it's about. It just makes the place miserable. Please flag it or email us ([email protected]) if you think a post is unfit for HN.

@dang - HN tearing itself apart over use of AI isn't conducive to a strong cohesive community.

Nobody here is at fault, we're in very trying times - we need to adjust with patience and consideration.

Use of AI to launch rapid prototypes is like breadboarding a new product. It has a place but it's moving so fast that it's hard to lock down at the moment.

No point everyone throwing excess cortisol in this direction. <3

This is actually really good. Like this kind of app built before AI everyone would praise it.

It's only slop because anyone can make it now and we're all sick of clones.

The app is good, but the effort required to make it is not impressive at all. I think calling this slop is a misnomer. It's not slop. It's better than what most of us can do and done in a significantly faster amount of time. Calling it slop implies you can do better... which you can't.

I find non-constructive feedback more tiring. People just dismiss things as soon as it has the faintest trace of AI without judging them for what they actually are.

Not saying the AI slop noise isn’t annoying though.

Sounds like OP did some pretty cool engineering to make this run performantly. Definitely not your run of the mill AI slop.
