Yep. Turns out HN is just avg people that think they're really smart because they know how to write code.

Literally why I stopped going to the comments or commenting. The blind arrogance of tech bros is up there.

Given the scope of the topic it appealed in 2016, parking tickets in two specific cities, I can see such a petty case like that be automated. The expansion in 2017 to seeking refuge seems like it'd be a bigger hurdle. But I wouldn't be surprised if that process can be automated a lot as well.

Seems like the killing blow here was claiming it can outright replace legal advice. Wonder how much that lie made compared to the settlement.

But yes, HN in general is a lot more empathetic towards AI than what the average consensus seems to be based on surveys this year.
