I don't think the arguments against it had no basis. It's clear that those tools have become really useful, but a huge chunk of those arguments are ethical about the environmental and economic impact.

What I'm seeing is that those arguments are beign faded out, along with those that talked about it as if LLMs didn't work as expected.

They are clearly useful now, and it can't be said that they aren't anymore, but those example that Linus gave minify the other problems and it makes it seems that anyone that does not abide by AI is a fool and an elitist, which I don't think that's the case.

I think that this position makes how you wrote your matter for some people.
