I made very concrete claim: that AI will be universal and widespread - embedded within all of the technology and systems we use.

It's so completely obvious, that anyone denying it has to be living in some kind rhetorical bubble.

It's truly a feature of 'online rhetoric' like HN/Reddit where people can consider these asymptotic postures and take themselves seriously.

We will use AI like you use plastics, cars, electricity, computers etc..

That's it.

I'm sure there were a few people who thought that 'hand writing machine instructions' was the 'one true way' of writing software, but hey, what would we call them in hindsight?

There are so many legitimate ways to be curmudgeon or wary of AI, but this reactionary stuff is anti-reason. It's not an argument, it's guttural, we should just ignore it.
