People have to post very defensively online, otherwise some "um ackshully" guy will be immediately jumping down their throat
If you write anything negative about AI without stroking the ego of the AI bros first by praising their machine best friends they will be all over you calling you a luddite

- bluefirebrand 2mo agoYeah. It's all over on HN for sure. I associate it a lot with Reddit too
