It is nowhere near as bad as a shithole like reddit, but even on this board there are plenty of people who have a stick up their ass about AI. Two things can be true at the same time:
The current (and forthcoming) iterations of AI are revolutionary in their ability to increase productivity in capable hands. Most people shitting on it act like it is a failure because it isn't perfect or because it doesn't fit their preconceived notion of what AI is that they picked up from sci-fi. But its imperfections do not nullify the sheer magnitude of productivity increase one can extract from it if they are capable.
"AI" has become a buzzword and the vast majority of people and companies are not utilizing it effectively. The insane levels of capital expenditure directed toward data centers is unlikely to be worth it in the long run. The AI craze has formed a bubble and the pop and resulting fallout will be interesting to watch.
