Interesting that this talks about people in tech who hate AI; it's true, tech seems actually fairly divided with respect to AI sentiment.

You know who's NOT divided? Everyone outside the tech/management world. Antipathy towards AI is extremely widespread.



And yet there are multiple posts ITT (obviously from tech-oriented people) proclaiming that large swaths of the non-tech world love AI.

An opinion I've personally never encountered in the wild.


I think they exist as a "market segment" (i.e, there are people out there who will use AI), but in terms of how people talk about it, sentiment is overwhelmingly negative in most circles. Especially folks in the arts and humanities.

The only non-technical people I know who are excited about AI, as a group, are administrator/manager/consultant types.
