Last week there were two separate posts, one said "AI is not a tool" and the other one said "AI is a tool." Even though that logically covers all possibilities, somehow the vast majority of comments in both were negative or contradicting. My takeaway is that comments aren't a very representative sampling of how people actually feel.

Comments of a single thread, no.
For a question like "is AI a tool?", there's often little reason to comment if you agree with OP, only if you're critiquing the post.
Good takeaway.
There's a lot of people who have a strong opinion about these things - But they're not sure how to vocalize their thoughts about it.
Or they have strong feelings, but they're not sure what opinions emerge from it yet.
The comments we see are from people who have refined both.
