Just the idea that something is AI is bothersome to some, and some AI content is genuinely useful and gets thrown out with the bathwater. Not saying all of it is useful, but there are shades of grey, not just black and white.

That isn't related to my comment? My comment is more criticizing accusing something of being AI based on vibes, and likely being wrong about it.

The broader point stands that all this AI stuff is highly polarizing, for a reason. I think you did a good job explaining why people get polarized. Sorry for any confusion.

I can't speak for everyone, but I've done a lot of reflecting on this so I have something of an explanation for why I feel this way about AI

I think it's because I'm not optimizing my life to get the correct answer as fast as possible, or to build things as fast as possible.

To me, the most important thing about the internet is connecting with other people. If I ask a question on a forum it's because I want to talk to someone about it, maybe make an acquaintance or even a friend. Otherwise I would of course just ask the AI now. Google has been around for a long time, and could already usually find answers for me. I still would rather discuss with a colleague sometimes than Google every single thing.

Human connection. We need more of it, not less. I think heavy AI use and reliance on AI for thinking, research, communication and building... It's going to isolate people even more
