Ask HN: Why do people hate using AI so much?

I'm not sure most people do hate llm use as users. I am very impressed, well more like stunned at where we have come in the last few year. I use Claude almost every day and I love the productivity gains it affords.

What i will say though is that (for me anyways) working with an llm like Claude can be mentally taxing because of how fast we can move together. I also refuse to vibe code so i am always proofing the work and maintaining a context of what we are working on

Perhaps this increased cognitive load is what others are talking about if they say they dont like using an llm

I've noticed a huge increase in cynicism and negativity in hn comments in the past few years. Being negative and dismissive is in- makes you sound blasé, in-the-know, experienced and capable of seeing beyond the surface. Unfortunately it misses the point entirely with LLMs (the correct reaction to LLMs being "WOW! FUCK! WOW!").
