Haters are always going to hate like they always have. Most important thing is to ignore them and do what you want.
I used to be one of them. Until I realized that AI will enable more people to make stuff in the Homebrew scene that current developers would say no to or try to stop from happening. Also the fact that a lot of people complaining about AI were those very Homebrew devs or trolls embroiled in culture war garbage made me lose respect for the anti-AI people and also want to distance myself from them. They are very toxic and most of the arguments they make hinge on tu-quoque (accusing the person they're arguing against of using AI) or abusing clinical language to accuse them of being mentally ill.
I'm ashamed to admit I was heavy on the AI psychosis bandwagon and called people schizos for making AI art or saying anything positive about AI. I regret that a lot, and I can't apologize enough for how much of a piece of shit I was, because even if you hate AI. Using clinical language to insult or discredit people is ableist and cruel.
