In the spirit of gentleness, at HN comments which don't add substance to the conversation are discouraged. So in this case it's not just word choice that people are reacting to.

Which is ironic given that a GPT generated article made it to the top recently IIRC.

I'm glad hn isn't like /r/programmerhumor (i.e. if I argue a point I don't want to explain what a pointer is) but the delusions of grandeur are in equal parts tragic and hilarious sometimes.
