He links to a post about a teacher’s expertise with students using AI. The fact that it’s on Reddit is irrelevant.
If you're going to champion something that comes from a place of extreme political bias, you could at least acknowledge it.
This is a baffling response. The politics are completely irrelevant to this topic. Pretty much every American is distrustful of big tech and is completely unaware of what the current administration has conceded to AI companies, with larger scandals taking the spotlight, so there hasn't been a chance for one party or the other to rally around a talking point with AI.
People don't like AI because its impact on the internet is filling it with garbage, not because of tribalism.

I’d like to see a statistically sound source for that claim. Given how many non-nerds there are on Reddit these days, it’s unlikely that there’s any particular strong bias in any direction compared to any similar demographic.
Given recent studies, that does seem to reflect reality. Trust in AI has been waning for 2 years now.
By what relevant metric?
The userbase has grown by an order of magnitude over the past few years. Models have gotten noticeably smarter and see more use across a variety of fields and contexts.
