It's not the extremism I mind, it's the absolutism.

Right now, I couldn't declare "I'm right" about any part of what's going on in this space right now, and I'm surprised when others do so.

I think they're basically the same. ”AI is useless for everything, therefore I will never use it", or "AI will solve everything so i'm never going to even look at the code it produces". Both extreme/absolutist positions and both impractical/foolish.
