Yes we are. I wrote about it last July:

And there have been some other attempts to quantify it:

Probably a question more direct for moderators and all which used the APIs in a way that allows building stats.

I had this hunch (i.e. are we having a substantial increase of "Show HN" submissions since the feasibility of LLM aided coding) looking at some Show HN that may have looked like "big leisurely projects achieved in little time".

For me, Ai has been useful for getting side projects I'd been meaning to publish for ages over the finish line. Probably not onthe scale you mean, though.

A rise in quantity and a drop in quality.
