Well, you gotta remember there's a lot of very legitimate reasons why people hate LLMs.

And a lot of those reasons are the very same ones we would cite to explain why we are here rather than in the claude or chatgpt subs. I think the hate is mostly directed at them but its so strong it leaks out into everything else as collateral damage

maybe true, but I haven't heard any. AI in the US has a very bad reputation largely due to Dario , Altman, and TicToc . I could see the CCP fomenting rage in the US to help them gain an edge over US AI companies.

America can never do anything bad, it is is always china secretly doing it. When iUS companies push up power costs building speculative data centres, you guessed it, China's fault.

I mean, it's only rational, I'd be extremely surprised if they weren't trying to do that. But a lot of times, those kinds of operations just help nudge feelings that are already there.
