The AI skeptics are mostly correctly reacting to the AI hypists, who are usually shitty linkedin influencer type dudes crowing about how they never have to pay anyone again. its very natural, even intelligent to not trust this now that its filling the same bubble as NFTs a few years ago. I think its okay to stay skeptical and see where the chips fall in a few years at this point.
I use AI everyday but you’ve got hundreds of billions of dollars and Scam Altman (known for having no morals and playing dirty) et al on “your” side. The only thing AI skeptics have is anecdotes and time. Having a principled argument isn’t really possible.
