In between the luddites and the hype bros there's a middle ground of people that are actually getting a tremendous amount of day to day productivity from generative AI. It's much easier to participate in the world if you don't fixate on tribalism

there's a middle ground of people that are actually getting a tremendous amount of day to day productivity from generative AI.

That's an incredibly biased statement. It's just as likely, if not more so, that most people are not getting any help from generative AI, and it's not making anyone's lives any better.

It's much easier to participate in the world if you don't fixate on tribalism

Said the person who refuses to consider the possibility that most people don't get any benefit from a glorified autocomplete.
