My guess is people are upset that this technology is getting pushed on them and through the industry with the promise (and shown side effect) of replacing them permanently. The failure modes of adopting this technology (early) then corroborates their anger (slop code, employees being lazy/deferring their AI bugs on them, unrealistic mania in the industry, the obvious grift, etc.). And this is all off the heel of large (and continuing) layoffs (regardless of your belief in why they have/are happening).

For people who are very pro these tools and trying to have a rational/calm conversation about practical use of AI, this response is likely very annoying. For people who are very anti these tools and trying to protect their way of life, the pro (or even tempered) reaction to wanting to use these tools effectively likely comes off as callous/idiotic/dangerous.

It's a heated technology and movement in general.
