Knitting bullshit | Hacker News

Hacker News users discussed an essay criticizing AI-generated knitting content, from fake images to autogenerated podcast episodes.

The thread focused on “AI slop” and whether low-effort, machine-made media is crowding out authentic niche content.

Commenters debated whether such content should be banned or simply left to market forces.

The discussion reflects broader concerns that cheap AI production is flooding the web with low-quality, hard-to-trust material.
