You might be onto something there, except that people do use LLMs for these exact use cases.

Yeah but that's just how things have gone. My enthusiasm about a new JavaScript framework is practically zero these days compared to several years ago, and I do genuinely use AI for all of my coding especially since I developed a health issue that prevents me from typing

The older generation loves them the most. Sometimes my mom sends me several AI generated reels in one day and she doesn't care if it's AI or not she just finds them funny.

Going to be a wild future that is for sure. I can see many ways this will go, some not so good.

same here.

Also in my country there is trend of remaking the old songs, with AI.

modernised sound with AI voice singing and AI video. They have ton of views in YT.

There's honestly a good chance you have seen an AI video in the last several months without realizing it. AI images and videos got crazy good suddenly

Don't you realize how many people are using these in production and rely on responses in very specific formats and have logging and metrics in place to detect any issues and if they were just randomly nerfing models they would cause major issues in production that tons of people would immediately notice? The easy way to prove this is to set up your own evals and then run them daily

I mean to be fair this price reduction does not prove anything

If somebody already thought the price was subsidized then this price change would just mean it's even more subsidized, so why would that change their mind?

Yikes, you can't really expect prompts to just be model agnostic

> imagine how many times you need to appear on HN to get your own audience

HN is NOT the right marketing tool for 99.9999% of people and businesses

Personal blogs are not a business, usually.

I said people and businesses

Yeah so I guess the hundreds of billions of page views from organic search every single month is just a total myth?

As somebody who has made a lot of money publishing on the internet you absolutely can get people to read your website organically but it takes specific strategies and you can't just write about whatever you want however you want and expect traffic.

If a site cannot handle traffic from the real Googlebot that is a serious issue with the site itself since it's actually pretty conservative

Also I should note there are lots of fake Googlebots...

Indeed, I've got a site which gets a lot of bot traffic and google bot is pretty sensible compared to a lot of other mainstream bots.

Yes, it really does not make that many requests. In fact lots of site owners struggle with having it not crawl and index their site enough

It is mostly, but it doesn't take a lot of googling to find sites getting ridiculous amounts of traffic from googlebot on google IPs. Its one of the most common complaints about google's search indexing

Lots of people abuse Google Cloud to get a "Google IP" for a fake Googlebot. Why don't you show me a single screenshot from Google Search Console showing a high number of requests to a site that would be counted as a DoS? All requests from the official Googlebot are logged there so if it's such a common problem it must be very easy for you to show me this.

Still waiting for a single shred of evidence ;)
