I assumed your post was more generic and not specific about LLMs or AI.

Generally speaking, while the disucssions are 'better', they are not good. The comments themselves seldom add real value, discussions are not held with sources and if you start to have a discussion, the other person stops responding to your arguments.

Its 'fun' because i think i like to discuss but i have often than not the feeling i have to explain things

While you mentioned LLMs: I do think that simplifing what LLMs are to a statistical parrot, shows how little people on hn know about LLMs, at least the ones commenting on it and repeating this every time.

With the crypto garbage, i had plenty of people not responding to proper arguments from my side and it feels empty.

HN is seldom stress.
