- Just like AI-related projects on GitHub always get an entirely different order of magnitude of stars. This is what people are focused on, outshines anything else.by linzhangrun
- Because it is the hot new thing and HN is a hype machine. Before AI there were crypto and blockchain, after AI there will be something else.by Leonard_of_Q
- Other things are discussed here too besides AI. Not all AI posts gather so many votes.
Look at the front page now, how many submissions are about AI, tell me?
by chistev - It's the cutting edge and it's a bit wild west. There is a lot of room for innovative use cases that, whether actually practical or not, can be marketed and sold as practical.by BLKNSLVR
- It's self explanatory. People are very interested in it. Every new computing Wave comes with months or years of non-stop articles here. I remember when Twitter was released, people wouldn't talk about anything else for a while.by glimshe

I’d rather use Lobsters if I had an invite (hint hint wink wink), they are much more moderate about LLMs if not mildly negative, which is a breath of fresh air after a few minutes on here.
by sph - If the latest AI swarm from OAI decided to astroturf HN, we probably would struggle to know. It seems easy relative to coordinating a massive hack of Hugging Face.
