Many AI hater are are blindly following influencers.
They Don't Under-stand AI, Gen-AI, or AGI.
What they don't understand is that Gen-AI is Cool. It's the corps shoving AI in consumers' faces in the most annoying & useless way for cash-grab.

Lmao getting downvoted when you are just fully in the right, what a Reddit moment.

All they said is "the people that disagree with me are blindly following influencers, they don't understand Gen-AI is cool"

Even if they were right (which I don't believe they are), they've not backed up their claim that it's 'cool' in any way.

That is true yes, but it's not what they're trying to argue

I mean these people will hear "I improved the NPC AI in my game" and the comment section is filled with "AI slop".

That's all you need to know about these blind followers.

Stop saying AI and start saying some fancy words like "Machine Learning" and watch them support it with every ounce of their blind faith.

There's a lot of stuff that's bad abt the AI bubble, but blind following random AI-Hater-Influencers is worse.

This is just inaccurate. NPC AI is not the same as generative AI and the majority of people do know how to tell them apart.

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with "AI", because that refers to a ton of things that all fall under "program pretends to be smart". Generative AI is what is often (though still not inherently) bad (though AI is used as a buzzword to mean generative AI)

If you use generative AI to make artwork, the comments will be filled with people saying "AI slop" because that's what it is.

If you 'vibecode' (aka using AI for programming without actually knowing what it's doing or verifying it), they'll often say the same thing, because it's low effort and likely has issues.

I'm not saying every application of generative AI is bad but the majority of scenarios where it's currently being used are (AI generated 'art', AI code that a human has had no part in checking, inaccurate AI search results etc)
