No, the anti-AI side gave plenty of well constructed arguments and rebutals about the societal effects, the limits of LLMs, the way it exploits artists, why agentic coding is unsustainable and bad, the blatant attempts at cutting income to people who are struggling like artists and designers, the complete and utter lack of care displayed by corporations and the sheer lack of respect displayed by everyone drinking the AI kool aid.

The pro-AI response has endlessly been repeating "its just a tool and its inevitable and if you dont like it you're a Luddite who's never tried or researched AI" (Even as the people who draw "anti-AI" conclusions or point out the negatives and limits of this technology turn out to have done extensive research and experimentation on machine learning and LLMs and realized that this was a dead end that was going to reach mediocrity at best) and now this narrative that the anti-AI side is disrespectful and bigoted (fucking rich coming from proponents lf a technology that has been shown to be biased against minorities from the very beginning; image recognition STILL keeps mistaking black men for apes and gemini tends to assume trans women are predators, not to mention the utter insanity that is to pretend locking everything behind models that require strong, modern computers is somehow giving power to poor countries, also the fact that most of the people behind this push are besties with Thiel, you know, the guy that is the absolute worst of all these tendencies)

We're fucking sick of the endless disrespect and self-victimization that slop makers constantly peddle and the gall to call us the ones that are delusional and disrespectful. Anyone who has seen the arguments and debates and hasnt come out with an unbridled hatred for this piece of shit that has made life in this planet worse for everyone with no benefit for anyone that isnt a corpo fuck is worthless and can go fuck themselves

one side

opinion discarded. caveman brain take.

Is there an argument to be made other than slop? All i have seen as far as arguments for is: "this other thing is slop, so why can't I slop here?", "what if it's only a little bit of slop" or "what if I serve you slop anyway and you don't notice". I don't care if you only put a thimbleful of dogshit in your soup, it's still shit soup.

While it is a fair observation that critics also failed to recognize nuance in Torvald's take, it is a bit wild to assert that it was 'mainly AI haters' that didn't get the nuance in a post specifically about someone so pro-AI they declare that everyone agrees with their take, and even people who claim otherwise don't mean it and secretly agree with him, and that Torvalds gave an unequivocal thumbs up to full on vibe coding.

Nah there's opinionated idiots on both sides, one is organically ignorant and the other is parroting corporate published ignorance
