Title nitpick: The amount is people who care about AI for coding assistance is a relative minority. For everyone else, there's 'AI', which has a huge branding problem. 'AI' is filling all search results with trash, and creating trash websites full of trash to fill up the rest of the search results. It's generating trash images to put at the top of every blog post. It's eating up all the server load with scraping. It's what's been fooling my dad every day on Facebook.

When people are sick of AI, this is what they are talking about. AI hype people ignore this perspective each and every time.

It doesn't matter how great your paper Mill's paper is, if you're dumping PCBs in the river, people are going to quite rightly get pissed off.

AI has a huge branding problem on HN but I haven’t found that to be true outside of tech.

Many people are very eager to see how AI can improve their lives.

I’m building a product for accountants that uses AI, initially I avoided using AI as a part of marketing copy. Turns out, people are much more interested when I tell them it uses AI behind the scenes.
