   Flipping through my feed reader and it really feels like the pro-AI blog posts have ramped up considerably in both intensity and volume over just the past week, all filled with massive caricatures of “AI” criticism and a blind faith in what the tools are promising to deliver

   What’s worse is I think most of the posts are 100% sincere

     @baldur At least in the posts I've seen, the authors seem to be seeing evidence that the tools can in fact deliver, at least in some contexts, particularly coding. So I've concluded that a decision not to use these tools has to be based purely on principle. I hope I'm somehow wrong about that. I hope there are practical reasons too.

     @matt @baldur They're just lying about the evidence.
