I'm never quite sure why the anti-AI crowd strikes me as so thoroughly amusing. Maybe, it's the delicious irony of someone declaring, with evident self-satisfaction, that 'AI is easy for the cognoscenti to recognize', all while they themselves resemble ants in an anthill, indignantly swarming as a bulldozer crests the ridge to begin creating a parking lot. These goofies, making hateful statements, trying to get attention, by hating on AI, and the people that work with AI.   
  
These weirdos on social media (that depends on data centers) furiously opposing data centers that ***will*** replace and displace them no matter how much they whine about it online.  They will be replaced by a data center that will produce more taxable revenue in a single year than whole towns full of pierced and tattooed degenerates,  mired in generational drug addiction, alcoholism, and dependency have generated in decades.  That is super funny to me.  Progress.  
  
The people hating now, are always haters.  They are the type of people that will want you locked up for not wearing a mask.  They are the people that will ban you from social media.  The haters.  The ones that will lock you in a cage or kill you because they don't like what you do.  I  laugh because I'm almost certain they are the ones that are going to be in the cages.  They are the ones that will be eliminated.  The hate will return to them 100,000,000 times.  That's hilarious.

The core criticism is not entirely wrong. Current AI systems are largely pattern-based prediction engines, not reasoning engines in the way many people imagine. They can hallucinate, produce confident nonsense, and often generate text that feels subtly "off" to people familiar with a subject.

The argument falls apart in a few places:

"All AI is derivative." So are humans. Every author, musician, engineer, and comedian is remixing prior influences. Originality is often recombination plus insight.

"It cannot be trusted." Correct, but incomplete. Calculators cannot be trusted blindly either. Neither can humans. The question is whether the output can be verified.

"It is easy to recognize." Sometimes. Increasingly less so. Most people claiming they can always spot AI are fooling themselves. Plenty of AI-generated text passes unnoticed, and plenty of human writing gets falsely accused of being AI.

"You only like AI if you're not fully cognizant." That is just gatekeeping disguised as philosophy. If AI helps someone write code, summarize documents, translate languages, or analyze data, enjoying that utility does not imply cognitive impairment.
