It's really quite interesting how many HNers hate AI; which is odd, considering the zeitgeist of this community. It may even be more intense than the Apple-hatred.
It's probably consistent with the general population which views AI negatively
I don’t hate it. I just hate the cult-like enthusiasm for it and the associated false claims. Again, your isolated anecdote does not trump the carefully compiled data presented in this post.
"Hate AI"? Not at all.
Hate marketing BS and wealth extraction? Absolutely.
I see OpenAI, Anthropic, etc (the whole LLM-hype/boom) leaning far more towards being the latter than the former, in which context the dislike makes perfect sense.
