There's a good reason for that. Because other AI users are listening. This is like choosing a car or a work tool, except they meaningfully progress every 6 months (more often if you restrict yourself to local). So you need to get an impression on what to use next before switching, unless you want to review every single one yourself.

There are entire sites dedicated to car reviews. This is a hackers website. Makes sense that the most evolving tool for the job is most discussed.

What else is really changing? CSS added a couple new properties? C++ new standard still didn't add modules (but the year changed!)?

You should ask yourself why nothing interesting is happening anymore. There's a reason for that.

Speak for yourself. As I see it we are on a verge of a change that will shadow the industrial revolution. And we get to see it unfold in real-time. I personally find the denial to be ... fascinating.

Definitely people who hate AI can’t shut up about it. 90% if the comments on HN seem to just be people hating on AI.

Everyone else is just busy using it to get work done.

Honestly, it feels differently to me. I have the distinct impression that the pro-AI side is much more desperate to normalize usage and have AI-based achievements recognized as equivalent, rooted in fears of inadequacy. It's about hoping everyone stops with the "you didn't make that, the AI did".

“One side has the impression and/or believes that the other side is more vocal and less sincere” is as old humanity and hasn’t changed with AI.
