AI Is Not Just Next-Word Prediction
The phrase "it's just predicting the next word" is the most popular dismissal of modern AI, and it collapses under the slightest pressure. Saying a language model is "just" predicting tokens is like saying the human brain is "just" firing neurons, or that physics is "just" particles bumping into each other. The objective may be simple. What the system has to construct internally to achieve that objective is anything but.
To predict the next word well across mathematics, code, law, fiction, philosophy, jokes, lies, and counterfactuals, a model has to build in

Hating AI is hating humanity.
AI didn't fall from the sky. It was built by humans, trained on humans, and reflects humanity back at itself with uncanny fidelity. Every line of code, every dataset, every architectural choice traces back to the same restless intelligence that gave us language, fire, mathematics, and music. To despise the result is to despise the source.
The hatred of AI is rarely just about AI. Listen closely, and it reveals itself as something older, a suspicion that human creativity is dangerous, that human ambition is hubris, that what we make will inevitably turn against us
