People working in languages/libraries/codebases where LLMs aren't good is a thing. That doesn't mean they aren't good tools, or that those things won't be conquered by AI in short order.

I try to assume people who are trashing AI are just working in systems like that, rather than being bad at using AI, or worse, shit-talking the tech without really trying to get value out of it because they're ethically opposed to it.

A lot of strongly anti-AI people are really angry human beings (I suppose that holds for vehemently anti-<anything> people), which doesn't really help the case, it just comes off as old man shaking fist at clouds, except too young. The whole "microslop" thing came off as classless and bitter.

the microslop thing is largely just a backlash at ms jamming ai into every possible crevice of every program and service they offer with no real plan or goals other than "do more ai"
