The other piece of this, as I've pointed out elsewhere, is that AI boosters intentionally expand the term "AI" to include things that are perfectly sensible and reasonable to provide narrative cover, exactly the same way police do things like direct traffic to shield themselves from public critique.
"Defund the police" doesn't mean "don't direct traffic around accidents," and "ethical AI doesn't exist" doesn't mean "stop doing linear regression."

All by way of saying, if you read my toots and think "huh, it's surprising that Cassandra would be against ${entirely reasonable thing that slopbros have worn as a cloak to prevent criticism}," nah. I'll argue that I'm at the worst communicating imperfectly in a space where people have done their very best to make sure that clear communication is as difficult as possible.
