> Is HN’s continual downplaying of AI’s impact and economic potential against all evidence

there's quantitative evidence in this article

unfortunately it doesn't support your position


If by quantitative evidence you mean that very few have made it to series A, that doesn’t preclude the overall economic impact or potential of AI, solely that its a crowded field where the exact niches haven’t been ironed out yet. This is the same for all nascent industries, but to assume such implies it is all a scam with no economic viability feels more like wishful thinking than a reasonable inference from trends.
