How are you defining apologists here? Anti-AI apologists? Human apologists? That's not a word you can just sprinkle on opposing views to make them sound bad.

Yeah, human apologists basically.

Thanks to Simon for pointing out my point is encapsulated by the AI effect, which also offers an explanation:

"people subconsciously are trying to preserve for themselves some special role in the universe…By discounting artificial intelligence people can continue to feel unique and special.”

And someone else pointed out that goes both ways. Every new AI article is evidence of AGI around the corner. I am open to AI being better in the future but it's useless for the work I do right now.
