Feels like "crypto" where if someone says "I am not interested", "I do not like it", or something to that effect then commenters suddenly appear suggesting that this is somehow unacceptable. Look at the top comment.

Like crypto, it seems some folks have bet on "AI", and are spooked by any hint of skepticism.



The issue is that both your statements are ultimately very subjective opinions first and foremost.

It's absolutely fine to hold those, but then people extrapolate this to things like: "The "benefits" it provides to end users are, at best, dubious — though everyone responsible for creating it will most certainly enrich themselves." And those are presented as objective value judgments, which ought to require somewhat more than personal opinions to back up.

Why does it not have value for end-users? Why is it bad if people creating those tools become rich? But we live in a day and age, where everyone thinks that their mere opinion needs to be heard and has objective value.


The end users don’t want it. There’s no need to get defensive about that.


I am an end user of AI in many cases.

I use it to generate graphics, summarize notes I have drafted, explore topics (instead of searching to some degree), etc.

I absolutely want AI driven tooling in place of the manual / tedious options.

So who is this "end user" that is invoked all the time?


"hyper-aggressive", "loud"

It's a blog post, there's no audio or video.


Loud and public objections are the opposite of not caring.
