He's got subscribers. Maybe the attitude is one he's found plays well with them.

I find it quite refreshing in some ways. Lots of people, when they start complaining about this or that aspect of this AI stuff, are wont to add in a little disclaimer that, despite all of the above, they actually really like AI and use it all the time. I assume this is to avoid the scenario of a bunch of pragmatic builders turning up and calmly shipping nuance in the comments (or whatever you call it these days when you get brigaded by a pile of angry keyboard warriors with chips on their shoulder) - and it sure is tiring having to wade through the equivocation.

That's a criticism that'd be hard to level at Zitron! Say what you like about the man, but he's unafraid to appear to take a side.
