The difference is that CEOs fired a lot of people, using "AI can replace human coders" as an excuse. Also: there are claims all over the headlines along the lines of "We built something amazing without human coders."

Both claims are loud and are flooding the discussion, but under the hood it's mostly a slop disaster.

So the negative sentiment is a natural response (and a dose of realism).
