> people are sad and angry about LLMs/AI

When you have made a life and career out of a particular skillset, like writing code, the fact that a machine is now doing your job is a hard swallow pill.

You will keep the denial and finding all the cons for as long as you can.

"Oh, but it's not clean", "Oh, but it's a spaghetti mess".

Because accepting that the previous points don't matter anymore in the overwhelming majority of cases, and the technology keeps getting better at each release is difficult.

It is sad after all. I enjoyed the magic and craft too. Now I'm a borderline meat relay, who'se added value is only because business and product people are too lazy to instruct the tools.
