MODERATORS
I completely agree, but the inverse is also true:
I hate how popular it's become to depend on AI amongst people who know little to nothing about it.
Honestly the article is actually dissing the people, not the technology. It's about a dude who has no other contributions to society just wanting to absorb in AI tech and rely on it for literally everything.
I'm an AI enthusiast, but I absolutely do not have the same perspective on it being used in that way. To me, they are picking on a subculture of incel/antisocial humans who want to use AI as a crutch, which doesn't really make any sense, which is why they're idiots.
That said I think you may be right about the strawman. I mean, I personally haven't met anyone obsessed with AI like the onion dude is described. Could be a made up persona, but with the way tech companies are going I don't think so.
