Dismissing criticism of new technology out of hand is just as bad as dismissing new technology without understanding it.
In modern context, LLMs and the like are akin to getting someone to write your term paper for you (poorly, for now) instead of doing the work. In terms of imparting knowledge, it provides little to nothing on it's own, and the way most people use it removes what value's left.
If we set aside the virtues of the tech for a moment, I think the meme is aimed more at the unthinking reactions, in either direction, than it is a comment on the technology, so yeah.
I'd also agree with you. When I hear someone making what is a poorly reasoned or uninformed argument, I'm entitled to dismiss them.
Doesn't mean they couldn't make a coherent point given the right context, but with a thousand strangers all competing for my attention on their opinion, I gotta filter out the noise.
No the way YOU use it removes the value. This is a user problem not a tech problem. As most things in IT are.
