I've noticed an uptick in the number of pro-AI posts on this platform.

Various posts with titles similar to "When will people stop being afraid of AI" or "Can we please acknowledge AI was very needed for X"

Can't tell if its the propaganda machine invading, or annoying teenage tech-bros who are detached from reality.

Those are a different set of questions though. The question shouldn't be if someone is concerned about AI use. Frankly, everyone should be. It has a huge capacity for harm in a growing number of areas in modern society. The question should be about who is using it. Additionally, what are they using it for? Novel problem solving, new automation, replacing older automation, or just for fun? That is what I'd personally be much more interested in finding out.
