A lot of HN people got cut by AI in one way or another, so they seem to have personal beefs with AI. I am talking about not only job shortages but also general humbling of the bloated egos.

I'm constanly encountering this "bloated ego" argument every time the narrative is being steered away to prevent monetary losses for AI companies.
Especially so when it concerns AI theft of human music and visual art.
"Those pompous artists, who do they think they are? We'll rob them of their egos".
The problem is that these ego-accusations don't quite come from egoless entities.

I'm gonna give you the benefit for the doubt here. Most of us do not dislike genAI because we were fired or "humbled". Most of us dislike it because a) the terrible environmental impacts, b) the terrible economic impacts, and c) the general non-production-readiness of results once you get past common, well-solved problems
Your stated understanding comes off a little bit like "they just don't like it because they're jealous".
