I echo almost all of your points daily and it’s incredibly refreshing to see a level-headed response like this.

Tbf I think this is probably the way most people see it at the moment from my discussions with others.

The static comes from people who have essentially staked their entire reputation on AI one way or another.

Some of it is TESCREAL ideology. Tech circles have been inundated with quasi-religious belief surrounding AI for most of the 21st century, which then biases tech enthusiasts towards extremist positions on LLMs.
