Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I have a feeling this is simply idiotic. Travel influencers are kind of useless anyway, so automatic synthetic bullshit replacing handmade artisanal bullshit is not really the biggest loss to humanity caused by AI.

Nah, people have loved travel stories for centuries. The markety fakeness to the point of straight up synthesis is the problem.

Oh, I love travel stories. Travel influencers make it about themselves and not the place, that's my gripe.
