Some people need something to rage and virtue signal against. Those who work in private STEM sectors or took machine learning classes years before the LLM craze already understand the tool is here and are willing to learn to work with it if applicable in their job or daily life.

Those who don’t understand anything and are angry at the how megacorporations got the first iterations of training data through unconsentually scraping their copyright infringed data off the internet, still get to feel good by calling it ‘hyped autocomplete just as bad as NFTs that will never do what a person can’. Its a win-win for everyone.
