If you automatically lump anyone who makes an argument that AI is capable - not even good for the world on net, just useful in some tasks - into "the AI crowd", you will tautologically never hear that argument from anywhere else. But if you've been paying attention to software development discussion online for a few years, you've plausibly heard of tptacek and kentonv, eg, from prior work. If you haven't heard of them in particular, no judgement, but you gotta have someone you can classify as credible independently of their AI take if you want to be able to learn anything at all from other people on the subject.
