Do these … people think anti-AI people use AI? Like, through gritted teeth, sweating, hating every moment, but they simply must use the thing they hate? (Of course, it's projection, like it always is.)

Well, because if you Google something use DuckDuckGo, use any current grammar checking or system spellchecking ... you're using LLMs. The amount of bad AI out there is insane, though. Especially when there's better, limited uses. And older tools that did grammar aware better in some cases.

His implication is that we sneakily like it, when the fact is that LLMs have largely made the experience of using the web *worse*, and most things would be better without them. (e.g. I use plugins to filter out likely AI results, and I've turned off spellcheck because it got bad with LLMS).

People do like it. They like that they can find things in images by name; that they can select objects without painstakingly using the loop tool; that they can translate and voice-to-text and text-to-voice much more easily. Does a bunch suck? Yes. Cheap implementations always suck, AI or no.
