I think most people react most strongly to the lack of quality in purely AI generated things. Especially art projects. No one likes buggy games and AI doesn’t change that. If they can manage to be one of the few to pull off a polished and successful game entirely generated by AI the I’d wager the actual backlash will be far more limited. But most people have now come across at least a few generated slop projects and they tend to leave a bad taste. So resistance to supporting the decision to go all in on something that has generally provided distasteful outcomes is to be expected, no?

The Nexus Trilogy by Ramez Naam is easily my most recommended and gifted series outside of the mainstream. I’ve bought book one 6 times now!

You can try accepting that uncertainty is completely normal and healthy and can be your minds way of letting you know you need more information or more time to process the information you already have. No matter what, be honest about it with everyone involved. We all have to make decisions sometimes without enough information and sometimes even with none. Guessing can feel overwhelming but it always helps me to be honest when guessing is ultimately what I have to do. Making a decision when you are uncertain can be very uncomfortable but doing it and seeing that you survived can often help ease the discomfort next time. Good luck!
