        It was expected that people without established credibility would be looked down on for using AI, but it's been weird to see people with all the credibility in the world lose it for embracing AI.

          What credibility has he lost?

            To sensible people? None. But the amount of criticism of his work that boils down to "he uses AI" is undeniable.

              Can you share some of the criticism? I’ve not seen any from anyone real.

          Tao gives or takes credibility from AI, not the other way around.
