alt Hacker NewsAre people still in denial about the daily usage of AI?
It's interesting people from the old technological sphere viciously revolt against the emerging new thing.
Actually I think this is the clearest indication of a new technology emerging, imo.
If people are viciously attacking some new technology you can be guaranteed that this new technology is important because what's actually happening is that the new thing is a direct threat to the people that are against it.

"vicious"? Temper your emotions a bit.
In fact I would make a converse statement to yours - you can be certain that a product is grift, if the slightest criticism or skepticism of it is seen as a "vicious attack" and shouted down.

I don't think that's such a great signal: people were viciously attacking NFTs.
I've tested the "emerging new thing", and it's utter trash.
People attacked leaded gasoline as a collosal mistake even as the fuel corporations promoted it.
"Because people attack it, it therefore means it's good" is a overly reductionist logical fallacy.
Sometimes people resist for good reasons.
