I upvoted you.

This is a fundamentally interesting point. Taking your comment as HN would advise, I totally agree.

I think genAI freaks a lot of people out because it makes them doubt what they thought made them special.

And to your comment, humans have always used words they reserve for humanity that indicates we're special: that we think, feel, etc... That we're human. Maybe we're not so special. Maybe that's scary to a lot of people.
