They're not looking for solutions, they're capitalizing on the AI backlash. It's just the new form of rageviews.

replySpotting a problem is relatively easy. Coming up with a solution, not so much. But it is still worth pointing out that there is a problem.

Agreed, and I think if you asked most people in the developed world, they'd say the invention of automobiles has been a net positive (to say the least) despite all the very real negatives. Stopped reading the article after that. It seems like the people expressing these sentiments are a loud minority, and I know from having spent way too much time online that if LLMs didn't exist in their current form, they'd be angry about something else. Then again, Maybe I'm just out of touch. It's a distinct possibility.
