  • AI use for Open Source projects is arguably the one use case that benefits everyone,

    It doesn’t benefit everyone if it pushes the quality down because the impetus to go fast wins over the dedication to reviewing the code properly. Nor does it benefit everyone if the world becomes uninhabitable because of the energy used by data centers. Nor does it benefit everyone if economies collapse due to the hype being wrong and the speculative bubble bursts. Nor does it benefit everyone if the hype is right and it renders most jobs redundant.

    These are the very rational things “haters” are concerned about. AI is for the rich to get richer. It does nothing for the rest of us.
