Fair on all points. I guess based on my experience I feel like the group that sees no nuance in it is maybe quite small but quite loud. From what I have seen in my industry, these people are masking fear or other personal issues under the guise of holding a morally righteous position. Most of these people aren’t really buyers, they’re other sellers, and they don’t really impact the market much. Those people obviously also attack full AI creations, rightfully so, but like I’ve quoted Shazam below, a lot of AI is literally just the same tools designers, developers, accountants, project managers, etc already used but are now “AI.”
So it’s not that I reject the existence of the group or the possibility that there’s backlash against every usage of AI. I just think not every AI critic can be categorized one way, just as not every AI user can be. Most
professional users of AI (as in professionals in their field that have incorporated AI, not people using AI to do tasks they otherwise couldn’t do) aren’t hiding their usage because of fear of retribution, it’s just not even something worth mentioning or something they may even really be aware of (which is how you land on such a high number of AI users).
It’s just not that meaningful to compare one extreme reaction with a poll that heavily samples from users of a platform rife with embedded AI. At the end of the day there are use cases where AI makes a lot of sense and will not go away, but at the same time, people should be highly critical of other ways AI is being used. I think both of these things can comfortably exist together.

Yeah, the Adobe suite in general has incorporated a TON of AI-assists into features that were already present and well-used.
AI is pretty buzzy, and I think as this all progresses there is going to be questions over how we refer to certain things and what actually qualifies as “AI.”
