The same can be said about the other side. It is rarely phrased has "LLM is a useful tool with some important limitations" but "Look the LLM manage to create a junior-level feature, therefor we won't need developers in 2 years from now".

It tends to be the same with anything hyped / divisive. Human tend to exaggerate in both direction in communication, especially in low-stake environment such as an internet forum, or when they stand to gain something from the hype.

You seem to have confused "The whole AI thing is nonsense. [Anecdote]." with "The whole AI thing is nonsense because [anecdote]." I see a lot of "LLMs are not useful. e.g. the other day I asked it to do X and it was terrible." That is not somebody saying that that one experience definitively proves that LLMs are useless, or saying that you should believe that LLMs are useful based only on that one anecdote. It is people making their posts more interesting than just giving their opinions along with arguments for those opinions.

Obviously their views are based on the sum of all their experience with LLMs. We don't have to say so every time.
