I noticed some changes in generative AI propaganda: fake centists, who promote "rational adaptation"

Noticed some AI evangelists try with the same kind of fake centrism, that was pretty popular during the Gamergate era. In this case, they try to set up people spamming genAI slop against “fanatical anti-AI people”. But just as many loves to pretend moderates are “far-left”, as their past-Gamergate selves pretended Anita Sarkeesian demanded state censorship of sexist videogames, as they are now pretending Hasan Piker is the most radical leftist living today (there are much worse even within the content creator sphere, such as Badempanda) to illustrate the “horseshoe theory”, the table is tilted in favor of AI adoption.

Keep seeing “Local AI has zero of the ethical concerns of corporate AI” from self-described Leftists too

The rational adaptation discourse is something I have seen too. I ignore it though because they never say anything interesting. My main gripe is still those who spam the forums with comments like “I have created big applications and automated my job” without showing any proof or source code, and no one calls them out about it.
