There are probably thousands of AI-produced projects submitted to HN each day. Should I get excited about all of them?

No, but you don't have admonish them or accuse of self-promotion. Use the flag button if you feel so inclined. You don't have to try to negate their excitement about something that seems genuinely novel, especially when not really engaged on the content of the project / post. Which it doesn't seem like you even really looked at.

So I have to be excited about every project, go and read through every Claude-authored text, and not form any opinion at all except visible and eager excitement?

I honestly have no idea what point you are making.

If you are in fact worried about the amount of work involved then I don't see why you would bother to comment at all, which is just more calories burned.

Anyway, cynically asking whether people are self-promoting (without any attempt at evidence) is far more than just sharing your opinion.

And it's clear you didn't force yourself to read through all that "Claude-authored text", otherwise you would not be left wondering if peter_d_sherman was self-promoting. (I don't know any of these people but it's clear they're all different).

My point was to tell you that you are exhibiting unacceptable behavior for a civil discussion. That's an example of sharing an opinion with justification.
