The responses to this post made me really sad.

Sure - it was light on the meat, But it's an opinion blog post, not a full article. the author ventures to cite their refs, acknowledges potential bias.. way more than you get with a tonne of front page articles (many of which probably should have been short opinion pieces like this)

Sure - it's not particularly notable or high entropy enough to save, but it's far from offensive or bothersome ...yet all I'm seeing (at time of posting) is defensive dismissals, ad hominems, and echo chamber pablum

Dig down and I think you’ll find that AI boosters are really quite insecure.
It certainly seems that way from this - admittedly tiny - sample
As an anti-AI booster, I admit that I'm quite insecure, too. And angry. But man, these endless threads with folks endlessly hyping their productivity gains and haranguing others for going against the grain are just blatantly pathological. I feel like I'm an in an episode of Pluribus.
We're sorry we upset you, Carol
Thank you.
