small-s skepticism, perhaps. 'Skeptics' can fall foul of the same kind of groupthink, magical and motivated reasoning, and fallacies as everyone else, which are often characterized as 'religious'. Not believing in a god doesn't make you immune to being wrong.

(FWIW, I do think there's some very unhealthy attitudes to AI and LLMs going around, like people feel the only two options are 'the singularity is coming' and 'they're useless scams', which tends to result in a large quantity of bullshit on the topic)

>like people feel the only two options are 'the singularity is coming' and 'they're useless scams'

No, you are turning a few loud people into a false dichotomy. The vast majority of people are somewhere between "LLMs are neat" and "I don't think LLMs are AGI"

The vast majority of people do not comment. Using only the comments that people go out of their way to make as your data source is a huge sampling error.

Consider that the accuser of lack of bias is often the most biased himself.
