it's highly ironic that the "AI" evangelists constantly repeat that people who hate it are out of touch. they're implying that people don't like it because they don't understand it, when my experience has been people who hate "AI" seem to have a far firmer grasp on how it actually works than the evangelists

@stefan @eniko the brain rot necessary to write "educators and policy makers need to be careful about spreading understanding about AI because if people understand how it works, they won't want to use it" is not lost on me. One of the Torment Nexii of all time
