@hipsterelectron to me the important bit here is this piece I've screencapped. when someone says AI is useless and they're talking to someone who believes it's useful because they've actually used it for things and found it helpful, then the critic loses credibility with that person. And now the critic has to convince the person that their experience with the software is not what they thought it was. So I personally try not to throw out the "it's useless" critique without qualifying it

@hipsterelectron (also I'm not saying that bender et al are saying this, but this is a real argument I see in the wild and I cringe when I see it)

@darius @hipsterelectron I have a problem that's almost the inverse: when someone makes claims about how it "helps" them in their work, I automatically think somewhat less of them, consider them at least a bit irresponsible, and question whether they ever really understood their own work in the first place. I haven't figured out how to handle it rhetorically, so I don't mention it much, but it makes me cringe whenever it comes up.
