To be fair, many have had their workplace enshittified by AI, or managers with AI psychosis.

Or fired over it.

Maybe they have family that’s gone down the ChatGPT rabbit hole. I do.

…I think it’s understandable for people to be pissed, and take an absolutionist position, as the leads who see it as a tool seem to be few and far between.

Blaming AI for this, instead of the shitty people who made the decisions, is still very dumb.

I agree that aforementioned companies/managers/etc are shitty.

Thats not AIs fault lol, and isn't a reflection of it.

Blaming AI as tge issue is just kneejerk mob mentality.

All true.

I’m just saying I can understand how people got in that mindset. Everything feels shitty, and it all seems like it’s because of “AI.”

And I think the hate should redirected to the actual perpetrators: the Tech Bros.

I can agree with that.
