You're not wrong, but the immediate danger of the bad Christians is WAY more important right now than the feelings of the good Christians. If the good Christians don't like it, they should get their fellows in line.
Timothy 4:16 – “Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.”
There's a clear duty to keep others from using scripture in corrupted ways. Silent good Christians are no better than protest non-voters.
As far as modern replacements for legacy systems go, I also was NOT happy with the concept of systemd, but after using it for years, I have to say that not only did it NOT break everything, it's on the whole been pretty stable, reliable, and I even begrudgingly admit I like the syntax better.
It's not about enforcing behavior. Not primarily. It's about setting a precedent of what is important.
There's a huge difference between "They didn't let me drink underage but I did it anyway and became an alcoholic." and "They explicitly let me drink and I became an alcoholic."
The former AUTOMATICALLY comes with increased caution from even the people who break the rules. And more importantly, it completely removes the "I didn't know" from the equation. Personal acceptance of the consequences of one's actions is the first step to fixing it later, but with no rules, it's easy to get bogged down in "Nobody stopped me. It's THEIR fault."
Scientologists are shit, and they DO destroy lives, but at least they didn't hijack the US government to age-gate the internet and funnel tax dollars directly into unconditional support for Israel.
So yes, at least in the case of Christians, "most religious people are out of control cultists" or at least "most religious people belong to organizations that directly feed out of control cultists" is accurate enough to be fair.
That depends... are you talking about actual AI, which is hard, or LLMs, which are resource wasteful, inconsistent prediction engines that even at their best are catastrophically wrong 1 out of every 100 times you use them, and require a $1000 GPU just to get a result in reasonable time?
Even your example there? Can be done in a 50 line bash script, with the exception of the "Review" folder, which would be wonky anyway because the files that you can decide are not useful, you already know how to decide are not useful, and the ones you don't, you would have as much trouble with as the AI would, so you haven't really gained anything. Instead of a continually iterating and improving script that does exactly what you want, you get an unpredictable application that will produce different output every single time it runs, with potential for regressions every single time you do it.
Basically, we're still at the point where anything a general purpose AI could do on a local operating system, you could do better and more efficiently with a purpose-built tool.
But we live in an era where people legitimately put out Electron apps and call them "lightweight and efficient" with no dissonance whatosever, so I'm sure there are a million people ready to argue.
Those things will come back when the scientists get reestablished in China and start developing good things instead of plagiarism machines and self-driving murder pods.
Conservatives: "See??? Why on EARTH should we invest in rail now when it's just going to be broken up by continental drift in 200 million years? It's woke liberal tax and spend waste!"
The issue is YOU are talking about REAL AI - statistical analysis and modeling leading to decision making with increasingly better fits.
The Transportation Secretary is most CERTAINLY vaguely referring to "that Claude thing that can do anything", and it's a series of plane crashes waiting to happen.
