There's massive negativity because our bullshit detectors are going off.
First of all, I don't think it can do what it claims to do.
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, I don't think it should.

People’s bullshit detectors have gone off on the launch of basically every single billion dollar tech company. That’s the downside of being early. No one believes it will work. If everyone believed it, you’re late. I’m sure I could find a comment such this, basically verbatim, on the launch post of every successful startup to come out of YC.
This does not mean that any launch which ignites people’s bullshit detectors is successful.
Yes and an infinitesimal number of launches turn into billion dollar companies. The bullshit detectors are usually right.

Why exactly should what you think the world should look like determine what other people are allowed to build?
