I work really hard not to do this, and have more than once posted a message like yours.

However, my point here was that at the time of posting, the comment threads for this HN post were largely devoid of any skepticism about LM+search, and were completely dominated by a calm acceptance that it was all inevitable. And I wasn't trying to say "all of HN believes <X>", but rather "I would have expected there to be more voices in the comment thread expressing skepticism, because I know there are some smart people here"

Google's Bard demo certainly tweaked the situation by the end of the day.
