It's not, though. It comes up over and over here, and often it's a link to an external article rather than an "Ask HN".

I can't recall a single instance of a story or serious comment. Do you have some example stories?

https://hn.algolia.com/?query=artificial%20general%20intelli... shows a dozen articles in the last year, so an average of one a month. I only searched on "general artificial intelligence"; other search strings might find additional articles.

Most have no comments/less than 5 points or only happen to contain the word "general". Many are simply asking questions such as "what does GAI mean?" and "is it possible at all?". You can count that as hype if you want, I guess.

I also wish all of the sugar beverage hype would stop (https://hn.algolia.com/?query=coca%20cola&sort=byPopularity&...).
