It’s surely not about intelligence, it’s an ideology thing. I know people with PhDs who will viciously defend LLMs and think they are the future. I think that many people just choose to ignore the problems. Recently I had a discussion about whether an LLM should be integrated into the document management system of a company. There were well educated and intelligent people there who weren’t conviced that just one hallucination would turn such a system into a legal nightmare.
In my experience, only the dumb people are excited about AI. The rest use it sparingly at best and generally don’t like it.

That may be true but it hasn’t been my experience which is why I phrased my comment that way
