First it's the tech bros using a tech for something it wasn't meant for and continuously lying about it. That causes a backlash and makes people hate the tech itself, because it's being used where it causes friction.

    Yeah, it really sucks, because LLM tech itself is amazing. Quantifying language and ideas into what's basically a massive queryable concept map is a huge achievement. What do the tech giants decide to do with that achievement? Shove it every little place it doesn't belong making everyone hate it.

    Oh well, I'll keep backing up the interesting local open-source models people make and playing with them in the corner.
