The fervor with which some feel the need to defend AI is what is incredible. Adoption, innovation, impact, not so much.

The attempt to compare it with Version Control, with sliced bread, with plumbing and sanitization practices. Think of any big innovation and compare it with it until people give in and accept this is the biggest bestest thing ever to have happened and it is spreading like wildfire.

Even AI wouldn't defend itself this passionately but it conquered some people's hearts and minds.
