I do think that's a poor argument, but there's a better version: tools take skills to use properly.
The other day, I needed to hammer two drywall anchors into some drywall. I didn't have a hammer handy. I used the back of a screwdriver. It sucked. It even technically worked! But it wasn't a pleasant experience. I could take away from this "screwdrivers are bullshit," but I'd be wrong: I was using a tool the wrong way. This doesn't mean that "if you just use a screwdriver more as a hammer, you'll like it", it means that I should use a screwdriver for screwing in screws and a hammer for hammering things.

It's not an exact match to what you want, but "you're holding it wrong" is the closest I've found. (For those too young to have heard of it, it was an infamous rebuttal to criticism of a particular model of the iPhone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/iPhone_4#Antenna)
And Lisp arguments, and Haskell arguments, and FP in general arguments.
"You can't actually disagree with me. If you don't agree with me you just haven't thought it through/you don't know enough/you have bad motives." (Yeah, we need a better term for that.) You see this all the time, especially in politics but in many places. It's a cheap, lazy rhetorical move, designed to make the speaker feel better about holding their position without having to do the hard work of actually defending it.

Because it frequently got rolled out in crypto-currency arguments too.

Now, now, be nice. There is value to obtain for the user from current gen AI tools. From cryptocurrencies... uh...

It's "skill issue" or "git gud".
