Right now we're going through multiple concurrent but slightly non-overlapping transitions where AI is almost good enough for something, and seeing a predictable surge of spam/bad quality crap people don't like, followed by a whiplash effect when it reaches human or superhuman levels of performance.

I think most developers would agree that the Cursor vibe-code era sentiment towards AI for coding was right in the sense that it wasn't that useful then, and a lot of people did and do stupid things with it, but it really did deliver quite substantially on its promise just a couple years after the "consensus" was often "that's never going to work".

It's very strange to me how consistently public opinion shifts on this problem. In the long run we're all dead but whether it takes one or five years, you probably will be there to live through it. I assume whoever is downvoting you is just thinking with their consumer-brain or "I don't want that" (the way it is now) rather than that this will be no different than video games, or wasn't a child who watched youtubepoop or other weird stuff because it was funny.
