Judging by comments on HN over the past month, a lot of people do fall into black/white thinking about AI. I frequently see a kneejerk rejection of the idea that AI could be useful in any context ever. I also see the opposite extreme, refusing to acknowledge any downsides or limitations of AI. It's a case of vocal minorities drowning out the silent majority. I interpreted the parent as referring specifically to the highly vocal, highly online anti-AI crowd, and not just anybody who has targeted criticisms of AI.
