Indeed. And only Karpathy is entitled to say that AI tools produce wrong code for him. And he's only entitled to say it for this project only.
If anyone else says this, "the skepticism is exhausting", and their experience is completely irrelevant.
Go look at the comments on HN whenever someone posts about their AI coding workflow. It will be littered with negative comments that either imply or outright say that the poster is either shilling, ignorant or working only on toy examples.
The grievance attitude seems to exist in both directions and is actually what is exhausting.

And they would be often be right. Coupled with the fact that most of the glowing "omg I only code with AI" posts don't even try to show what code or products they are working on.
And yes, the absolute vast majority of people who are skeptical are skeptical precisely because they use these tools every day themselves.
