The hate comes from the people whose lives are being made materially worse as a result of the prominence of LLMs

They're incredibly inefficient environmentally, causing companies to want to do nothing but build increasingly loud, power-hungry data centers.

They've only exasperated the K shaped economy we currently live in where the ownership class takes everything, and everyone else gets crumbs.

All the while LLMs produce misinformation, lifeless "art" and propaganda almost exclusively.

Machine Learning was useful, LLMs are slop machines that make everything worse.

There are a lot of people with limited agency over their own work or personal lives, and are at the receiving end of other people's decisions.

Resentment can build when they perceive outside forces impacting their lives and personal well-being negatively. Sometimes this comes to define them as a person, in a self-reinforcing spiral of doom.

For most well adjusted people in decent work and social circles, we can take a more nuanced view, being both critical and optimistic as needed, and finding satisfaction in making the world work for us.

Consider yourself privileged.
