I've been calling it the "AI argument from misanthropy" but that's way more succinct. Thanks.
What really drives me crazy is how laden it is with negative emotions, and then people pretend it's just a rational assessment of the world. I was told growing up that if you're anxious or negative, it's just because you are smart and you understand how terrible everything is, while stupid people are happy. Seems like a lot of people got a similar message, and now they're shilling AI.

AI good cos vastly better than most people at most verbal tasks.
Those low quality lawyers and doctors are still vastly more capable than a layperson at verifying AI output
Those low quality lawyers/doctors still won't care enough to help the layperson.
So for the layperson, the AI output is still useful. They'll know to search for a different lawyer/doctor.
Tool just brings more knowledge to regular people.
It's like discovering search engine 20+ years ago.
