Original Reddit post

I can’t believe how much negativity / pushback there is against AI in my favorite tech/engineering subreddits. I’ve been seriously impressed with the progress over the last 3-5 months even. The capabilities are insane. I can get home from work and watch TV and have it crank through TODOs like nobodys business. But any post I make showcasing a Python project that was half written by Claude or how it’s been very helpful in improving my Emacs/Bash configs is met with downvotes. I’m amazed I still see people just reducing it to “a stochastic parrot”. Is it out of fear? Focusing attention on some of the over-the-top marketing? I just don’t understand it. And it’s obviously not grounded in reality, because most people I talk to at work or friends talk about how they are using it. p.s.: I understand my responses will already be skewed posting this on a) Reddit and b) a forum on AI submitted by /u/consumer_xxx_42
