I’m sorry— do you have something to say about his ideas or is it all ad hominem?

Well, their point has much more substance than your "this is ad hominem" slur since the blog author didn't disclose that his opinion piece is directly tied to the business model of his startup (and therefore wants to sell you the solution so they are clearly biased). Some people may therefore feel deceived.

		> blog author didn't disclose that his opinion piece is directly tied to the business model of his startup You mean other than stating in the "About" section of his blog? You seem to be confusing blogging "standards" with conflict of interest disclosures for research publications and see a problem with founders being subjective by actually having an overlap in their beliefs and their companies.

What I'm saying about the "ideas" is that they are entirely based on a delusion which is stated as a fact, but only because the author has a strong incentive to believe the delusion.

So he's delusional because he thinks users may be inclined to not pay for SaaS products when they can solve their need by asking an AI for close to free?
