The criticism isn’t so much for AI itself, but for the mediocrity it enables.
Remember in elementary school when you were learning basic addition and subtraction? And that your teacher wouldn’t let you use a calculator even though it was capable of getting the job done (and without hallucinating bullshit numbers!)?
You teacher wasn’t ‘anti calculator’, they just recognized that tool as being harmful to their goal of training you to actually think.
AI is a tool. There are some things hammers do a really good job of, but in today’s world they’re used in everything. Want to apply paint to your car? Hammer. Do the dishes? Hammer. Brush your teeth? Hammer. It’s stupid, and not at all helpful. So now we’ve got a counter-culture growing of “fuck hammers!” in response to that stupid, but hammers aren’t really the problem… the problem is the stupid. Fuck hammers.

Speaking of hammers…
Yeah I’m not going to converse with willful ignorance or arguing in bad faith. Go bother some other website.
If you take away artists, everyone pack up, because humanity is lost.
