"What's clear is this tech is here now, and complaining about it feels a bit like mourning the loss of punch cards when terminals showed up."
The complaints are about the hype not the loss of anything.
The problem with so-called "AI" is the hype. It is absurdly desperate at a time when Silicon Valley is facing an existential crisis with the end of ZIRP. Under the circumstances any reasoonable person could become skeptical, even put off, especially considering all the Silicon Valley hype campaigns that preceded it.
Silicon Valley still has loads of cash but its credibility is getting thin.
