Comparing this with n-gate really shows the difference between AI and real work.

Superficially, they're the same, but digging in shows the real difference.

N-gate was by far the best thing about HN.

The moment slop becomes more HN-esque than original HN content, it tells you a lot about the quality of HN posts. That is very reflective to me.
