smells like a very “centrist” take

I hope so! I am literally suggesting a centrist take. Don’t go all in but also don’t ignore its benefits.

There are a lot of people hyping it and a lot of people hating on it. There is value to them. Some over overstating it, others are understating it.

This does not mean that overstating delta is equal to the understating delta. The sentiment on LLMs isn’t a bell curve.

What are the “extremist” views that the ultra pro-AI people are pointing to?

Refusing to use it to their own detriment.

Convincing others to not use it to their own detriment.
