From an engineering perspective. The way AIS folk talk about AI is based on philosophical argument and armchair reasoning. This is not how engineers think. Physical things in the world are not built based on who has the bast argument and can write the best blog post but by making lots of tradeoffs between different constraints. I think this has 2 major effects: The first is that people with lived experience of building things in the physical world especially at scale will just not engage with a lot of the material produced by AIS folk. The second is that AIS folk hand wave away a lot of details that are actually very important from an engineering perspective and only engage with the most exciting high level abstract ideas. Usually it is the small boring details that are not very exciting to think about that determine how well things work in the physical world.
