I'm not against AI in general. I'm just against using it stupidly. And against using it as a vehicle for further monopolisation and centralisation of power. I'm against the "use more AI" slogan too many companies push.
But use it for specific purposes under human control that improve quality, then I'm all for it.
I don't think many people are against the existence of LLM-based AI in general, just the way it's being pushed currently.
In the hands of highly experienced and skilled people it can be very valuable - the issue is that it generally isn't. Personally I think Linus has demonstrated that he's more than capable of using it intelligently and responsibly.
I’d have to disagree with you that an outsized number of uneducated hivemind morons are against AI in any capacity.
This seems like an over generalization and less likely than the uneducated hivemind of morons actually being in favor of AI
