Whenever I hear someone hating on “AI” I think, “Wait: What are they even talking about?” Because it’s far, far too ambiguous.

Will they get mad at me because I used gpt-oss:20b (on my personal GPU) to help me summarize the architecture of some code that I didn’t write? Do they even know that such things exist?

Will they get mad at me because I used ComfyUI (on my personal PC) to combine two images into one?

Will they get mad at me for using speech recognition to write something out on my phone?

Do they get mad whenever forecasters use hurricane path prediction/modeling?

All these things and a whole lot more are “AI”.
