I’'m curious about the strong negative feelings towards AI and LLMs. While I don’t defend them, I see their usefulness, especially in coding. Is the backlash due to media narratives about AI replacing software engineers? Or is it the theft of training material without attribution? I want to understand why this topic evokes such emotion and why discussions often focus on negativity rather than control, safety, or advancements.

    Not to mention the environmental cost is literally astronomical. I would be very interested if AI code is functional x times out of 10 because it’s success statistic for every other type of generation is much lower.
