I've had the same experience. I've also noticed AI ia getting political because people are starting to feel threatened by it.
I told one of my normie friends about some of the stuff I've built using AI and he sais, "Well... I don't think AI will ever replace humans..."
I was like, "I'm not trying to start a political debate. I'm just showing you a website I made with AI this morning."
Now that I think of it, he's probably pissed because he paid someone thousands of dollars to build a website for him and I can build way cooler websites for about 2% of the cost.
