Ask HN: Has Show HN become LLM-prompt-centric?

9 points by piratesAndSons ↗ HN
It seems to me that Show HN is filled with low-effort see-what-I-prompted-Claude posts—no innovation, no real creation, just yet another copy of a copy. If you’re going to prompt an LLM, at least come up with something original, not the millionth text editor.

But seems, as others have also noted, although the mean quality decreases, the quality of those reaching front page increases.

That said port/clones have always been trendy. What has joined their ranks is the significant amount of what are essentially minimal prompt wrappers.
