Why the Reddit Hate of AI?

I just went through a project where a builder wanted to build a really large building on a small lot next door. The project needed 6 variances from the ZBA. I used ChatGpt and then transitioned to Claude. Essentially I researched zoning laws, variance rules, and deeds. I even uploaded plot plans and engineering designs. In the end I gave my lawyer essentially a complete set of objections for the ZBA hearings and I was able to get all the objections on the record. We won. (Neighborhood, plus all my research, plus the lawyer) When I described this on another sub, 6-8 downvotes right away.
