That may be something.

Having too may subs could get out of hand, but sometimes you end up with so much paperwork generated so fast that it needs its own dedicated whole drawer in your filing cabinet ;)

Sorry about that, didn't mean to hurt anybody's feelings :(

It's still early and easy to underestimate the number of visitors who would absolutely love to have the main page more covered in absolute pure vibe than it is recently.

I would like to hear opinions as to why the non-human touch is preferred, that could add something that not many are putting into words.

Hopefully it's not a case of the lights being on but nobody's home :(

This, but unironically. Every submission should have an "AI?" checkbox, to indicate if the content submitted is about AI or made by AI, because I'm just absolutely fed up with 2/3 of HN front page being slop or meta-slop.

I'm not an anti-AI luddite, but for gods sake talk about (ie. submit) something else!

Yes please! I don't know what's worse: reading an AI-generated post or several comments that go like "I've spotted an em-dash, it must be AI generated".
