Would you enjoy the experience of telling your LLM “make a HN-style comment thread on $subject with 200 comments, no trolls please”, and then actually spend time reading them?
No? I’m imagining not at least. Because there would be no point to it.
If you would enjoy it, then I’m surprised you’re here and not just simulating the experience with your LLM by yourself.

The reason I'm not simulating the experience with an LLM is because:
1. It costs more time to do so, because I have to prompt it to create a single comment. Multiply that by the typical number of an HN thread.
2. I suppose in a way you need bad takes to form your own view of a topic or an issue. LLMs would also be unable to provide truly unique experiences, such as some of the veterans who sometimes post here who were part of the living computing history as we know it.

That's something you imagined that I claimed I want. If you read my comment again, you'll see there was no such thing.
