Most people in tech that I know hate AI, including devs. I know one manager who is gung ho for it but everyone is annoyed by him and he was already well known for going apeshit over whatever the latest tech buzzword is before the whole AI craze kicked off.

Anecdotal I suppose, but IMO, most people who are actually technical seem to treat AI with a good degree of skepticism if not outright disdain.

Emphasis added. We all live inside social bubbles, if one wants to talk about what most people in general believe then one must use data from beyond that. Otherwise you're going to get a very biased sample, since we generally choose to associate with people who share our own personal values.

  I don’t disagree with using unbiased data, but where is yours?

    Data for the claim that lots of tech-savvy people are developing and using AI? Some of the biggest tech companies in the world right now have an AI focus. NVIDIA, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, they're all making massive use of AI. If you want to discount "corporate" tech-savvy people, This page indicates 15 million developers are using GitHub Copilot. Linus Torvalds has spoken in favor of using AI to maintain Linux, if you'd like someone specific and big-name as an example.

    the keyword word you missed was “unbiased”
    
    of course the AI peddlers will peddle it and their employees would probably be fired if they did not toe the company line
    
    on the otheer hand, that mit studyshowed 95v of them failed… I find it hard to believe people enjoy failing
