You're not wrong. It's almost a religious fervor. And much like so many religious figures, you get a sort of Rorschach test on how you use/view it.

Is it a tool? Is it going to make humans obsolete?

Doesn't matter because if you don't praise and adore AI the [market|capital] will leave you behind.

It's pervasive as fuck. I go into stores with local artists and can't help but think what of this was made with AI. It draws me more towards physical things that cannot have been tainted.

If you asked me I'd have said there is a religious fervor against AI. Everyone seems to have weird superstitious shaking terror of AI. It's a tool, an incredibly transformative tool, and potentially also a lifeform. What's not to be excited about it? I don't care much whether something was made with an AI assistance. Do you check your furniture for if it was made in a CNC mill? What about a circular saw, is that bad? Handsaws? That's still incredibly high tech, the kind of steel for panel style saws was only really perfected in the 18th century. If it has the shape and structure of a table, its a table to me. If it has the shape and structure of a painting, its a painting to me.

Even the downvotes on my post are very telling of what the sentiment is in tech.

In this new age, getting any kind of enjoyment from something digital just feels icky now.
