I have to say as someone who works in AI that currently the least interesting people to talk to are other people in AI.
My favorite people to talk with are tradespeople because they can do things I can't and they know things I don't. And we're really not all that different once you're really start talking.
One of the worst things about talking with people who use lots of AI (less applicable to those who actually work on building AI) is their decreased resilience to opposing views.
AI has infinite time (and likely human evaluation incentive) to spend on couching pushback in the softest possible terms.
Humans outside of grade school honors classes generally don't have the time to preface "You're wrong" with "That's a brilliant thought, I see where you're going. How about we also consider an additional perspective..."
Seems to me that people with "decreased resilience to opposing views" have been increasing in number since well before LLMs.
