    Why is it that every one of these anti-AI screeds that gets upvoted on HN has been clearly written by AI?

    Here is one of his posts from 2022:

    "Since a long time now I was interested in learning computer graphics and “do stuff” with computer graphics APIs. I began to work on a very simple Game engine in Swift / Metal last year but I began to switch to a Windows machine a few months ago, and Swift / Metal is not compatible with Windows (and will never be I think)."

    This is the same person who is apparently now writing:

    &quot;It is a transaction where you sell the part of you that was supposed to care. Do that often enough, and it does not come back. That is not burnout, but it is still a disease. Although, like every disease, it spreads: first to your team, then to your product, then to the people using it.&quot;
