Jessica Lessin认为新技术的进步总会伴随着争议,人们会在复杂的技术创新中寻找替罪羊,而现在人们将社会问题的责任归咎于科技兄弟。 Brit Morin认为大众对科技兄弟的定义与硅谷内部的定义有所不同,大众通常将从事科技工作的男性都视为科技兄弟,并将其与Elon Musk等人物联系起来;而硅谷内部对科技兄弟的定义则更为细致和复杂,一些科技兄弟可能盲目地反对多元化,并表现出排外性。德州人眼中的科技兄弟形象是驾驶兰博基尼、交易加密货币、创办公司和投资的男性,带有轻微负面色彩。 Dave Morin认为对科技兄弟的刻板印象具有争议性,并可能具有歧视性,不利于行业发展。为了超越目前的社会分歧,科技兄弟这样的刻板印象应该被摒弃,寻找更具包容性的语言。人们对技术乐观主义者的怀疑日益增长,部分原因是社交媒体和加密货币等技术对社会产生了负面影响。 Matt Vascellaro认为艺术家和技术人员最终会找到合作的方式,但目前AI的界面设计仍有待改进。好莱坞对AI的态度存在两种截然不同的观点:一种是恐惧和恐慌,另一种是寻求创新和更高质量内容的机会。好莱坞应该将竞争重点从争夺观众注意力转向争夺观众想象力。他本人正在开发一项实时将演员表演转换成2D动画的技术,旨在降低制作成本,并创造出高质量的独立电视节目。
