alt Hacker NewsFar from “dooming”, AI currently has a major public image problem - it’s got a lower approval rating than the current President. Most people’s perception of AI is the lousy customer service chatbot, a phone tree that doesn’t work when they call customer service, and AI generated spam, scammy images, and so forth.
Couple with that the frequent press about “AI is going to replace your job” and the public image problem is pretty bad.

Bot implementation quality is up to the engineer. It is not an inherent limitation of the LLM. Granted, management always comes in the way of a good deliverable. I ask people to vote with their wallet if the experience is lacking.
AI replacing jobs is a good thing. I don't know why people want to keep doing stupid jobs that even a machine can do. As for their income, they should vote for politicians that give them benefits rather than take them away.
I am sure there were people for a few decades that complained that horses were no longer in demand, but these people are now extinct, and the AI doomers will be too.
Public image isn’t reality. Just because people can’t be bothered to learn about the productivity boost that AI provides for businesses: doesn’t mean that there aren’t any. Honestly this constant outrage and FUD is getting ridiculous. Don’t use it if you don’t like it. Some of us actually want to be more efficient.
