I believe most people’s problem with AI comes from the potentially massive financial bubble and economical damage to come from over-adoption of the technology where it should not be used.
Many people, like Torvalds, know that AI is useful for certain things when used responsibly. Low level programming is one of the best places for it. You’re not solving business problems. These are usually optimization and security problems with verifiable outcomes(ex AI finds bug, you can actually confirm bug exists).
Unfortunately the ease of which you can produce crap with AI causes big problems for everyone trying to actually improve things.
AI can be both a bubble and a useful tool at the same time, a crash won't make us forget all about it, instead I have a feeling a crash may help mature AI the way dotcom bubble did web 2.0
