Fair point. I don't know how to actually respond to this one without an objective measure or at least proxy of a measure on the sentiment of the discourse and it's public perception.
Anecdotically I would say we're just in a reversal/pushback of the narrative and that's why it feels more negative/noisy right now. But I'd also add that (1) it hasn't been a prolongued situation, as it started getting more popular in late 2024 and 2025; and (2) probably won't be permanent.
I.e. "yeah, I heard many counters to all of the AI positivity but it just seemed to be people screaming back with whatever they could rather than any impactful counterarguments" is a much worse situation because you've lost the wonder "is it really so positive" by not taking the time to bring up the most meaningful negatives when responding.
