It's quite noticeable how when Terence tao was sounding pro-AI the sentiment was much more positive and he was being held up as an authority to listen to. Then he puts out some limitations of AI in a presentation about how to work with it as an expert and suddenly on HN he is just some out of touch killjoy trying to hold back progress etc.

When it comes to mathematics, you won't find any well-informed commenters on HN. Or, at least, 99% of commenters have no idea what they're talking about. It's infuriating. I try to just ignore it now and let it wash over me.

		I think what I’m finding interesting is this is the same guy who the AI industry was so jubilant when he was saying [AI is ready for primetime](https://academy.openai.com/public/blogs/terence-tao-ai-is-re...) in March and now he’s AI enemy no1 the moment he suggests some ways of using AI that aren't “turn brain off and let the tokens rip!"
