> Reading AI-denier articles in 2026 is almost as boring as reading crypto-booster articles was 10 years ago.

That’s quite a funny take, because I bet you someone will have made that same argument to criticise “crypto-deniers”.

> pretending they're not doing anything clever or useful

That isn’t at all the argument of the article. No one is claiming LLMs are completely useless or that they aren’t interesting technology. The critique is they’re being sold as way more than what they are or could be, that that has tangible negative consequences we can already feel, and the benefits don’t offset it.
