> why do they care so much to convince me;

Someone might share something for a specific audience which doesn't include you. Not everything shared is required to be persuasive. Take it or leave it.

> why don't they just link me to the amazing thing they made, that would be pretty convincing?!

99.99% of the things I've created professionally don't belong to me and I have no desire or incentives to create or deal with owning open source projects on my own time. Honestly, most things I've done with AI aren't amazing either, it's usually boring routine tasking, they're just done more cost efficiently.

If you flip the script, it's just as damning. "Hey, here's some general approaches that are working well for me, check it out" is always being countered by the AI skeptics for years now as "you're lying and I won't even try it and you're also a bot or a paid shill". Look at basically every AI related post and there's almost always someone ready to call BS within the first few minutes of it being posted.
