It's just the usual HN sport: ask a low-end, obsolete or unspecified model, get a bad answer, brag about how you "proved" AI is pointless hype, collect karma.

Edit: Then again, maybe they have a point, going by an answer I just got from Google's best current model ( https://g.co/gemini/share/374ac006497d ) I haven't seen anything that ridiculous from a leading-edge model for a year or more.
