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.
posts about yet another ai workflow, typically presented with hyperbole is exhausting. The backfires are rather appeasing, entertaining at the least.

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.
Just so we are clear, you are upset by people dismissing your experience gained skepticism but have no problem dismissing every positive comment as a shill, ignorant or simple?
You don’t see any dissonance in that? It’s only the positive people that are exhausting?
