A large majority definitely hate it to the point of having blinders on for sure.
On one side you have corpo hype/lies, and the other is LLM is slop garbage and terrible for anything, also developers wrote perfect code before LLMs and now everything that breaks is AI slop caused.
As a programmer I can assure you there were plenty of bugs before AI and not all bugs now are AI caused. That said yeah we’re in the awkward teen years of AI. From 2015 to 2020 was like the baby years and people going “omg that’s amazing” and right now we’re in the “I hate everything and everyone” phase and it will emerge into either “omg the world is ending” or “this is utopia” or “alright thing is damn useful for good and bad endeavours”.
