AI psychosis swings both ways. There is definitely the c-suit managers who got marketed to and now fully embrace the insanity. Everything AI.
Then there are the people who think their feelings are valid logical reasons to start religious wars over. Apparently the existence AI insulted their ego and their "creativiae!" (in Cartman's voice) by being better at writing and drawing than they are.
I would have more sympathy with the latter because they must be in incredible intellectual pain from disillusionment that all their poems and illustrations were in fact not art after all. But then the puritan loudmouths keep yapping on about what others can and cannot do. At this point I'm tempted to side with the Nerd Reich.
Aehm. I might be slightly affected as well.
