If you don't have a cynical view about it, then why do you feel bad about being called a booster of it? Does it not describe your view? Or, if you are like not cynical but still like lukewarm, why do you feel targeted in the first place?

If everyone had the same opinions they do, but called it all "AI optimism", or whatever other term you prefer, would anything change for you?

This feeling you might have, where everyone is having a secret meeting without you, deciding on opinions and terms to operate against you, is understandable in this world, but you can't live forever in that solipsism. You need to be brave enough to have your own opinion against those that truly, passionately have their own. You need to argue and fight for what you believe in, not try to explain away or conspiratorialize your opponents. There is no one coordinated, arbitrary force you can point to that can explain why people don't share your worldview. You can just defend what you believe in, and always be ready to update your assumptions.
