I will admit that, being more directly impacted by the way AI is deployed, I have some 'harsh' opinions. You're not required to agree with them, and the point I was making wasn't to win you over to a different opinion. (Although, despite using very strong wording to describe those effects, surely you can see the points people are making about the impacts of centralizing power, diluting the internet with botted content or contributing to the increased rent-ification of the web without just drawing question marks, right?)

The point is that, in acknowledging that there is a valid 'doomer' perspective to begin with, you're undermining your initial argument - namely, that the opposition simply likes to dislike things, and that their arguments have little depth or merit because they're only cherrypicking or making things up to serve some kind of hidden thirst for negativity.
