Let's build a bot to participate in HN discussions. Then we can all save some time and get back to work. My first two suggestions:

Q: Someone is building flying cars.

A: Do we really need them?

Q: Someone is investing money into extending human life.

A: Let's talk about the social implications of immortality.

We can abstract this a bit

Q: Innovation announced! A: Not possible based on my legacy experience/guild qualification.

That doesn't actually generalize GP, but presents a very different issue (neither of the examples you claim to be "abstracting" involve challenging the possibility of the announced innovation.) GP is more "Announcement: Innovation! Response: Questions about utility and/or unintended consequences."
