People have really soured on AI over the last few weeks.
Overall sentiment: very negative.
This mostly comes from the developers I talk to. The non-tech people I know have always been either meh or thumbs down toward AI.
I think all the talk about companies replacing people with AI is finally catching up with folks.
Twitter might tell you that AI is meant to help you and yada yada, but who are we kidding? Every company owner is looking at a spreadsheet right now, trying to figure out how to halve their headcount.
I’m not sure how this will play out, but I don’t see how folks will come around. Especially the younger generation.
