I think you got the wrong impression, I mean he is not the target audience because he is very experienced with Blender and AI is not good enough to provide any value for him…
Why so aggressive?
Because it’s not really any good for beginners either. It does random incorrect stuff. Take a look at the example with geometry nodes. That’s a system for procedural modelling, it’s meant to be used another way. It’s not for manually duplicating hundreds of nodes, the whole idea is making a procedure that would take care of the repeating complex modelling. It would be teaching people the wrong things with much confidence. 
The technology is amazing and has potential, it is not ready yet. That’s a waste of time(and money) for beginners at the moment. And it’s also misleading. For example the claim that it can organize a scene is false. It cannot.
The target audience seems to be people who don’t know anything about 3d or Blender and the point seems to be to take advantage of the lack of their understanding and profit from all the buzz around AI. I mean i don’t know that for a fact, but it seems this could be the case. Or it’ could be made by people who don’t know much about 3d themselves.
This could work in the future. It doesn’t work now.
Does that explain the aggression? Because it seems reasonable to me. If you come to a complex field without understanding its complex nature and real world use and claim to have a miraculous tool and then it actually doesn’t work, that’s like selling snake oil. Of course you will get aggression towards you.

I think my post was fairly clear.
If you reread and still don’t understand, perhaps ask an AI chatbot to explain it.

Well, I try to look at those tool from a broad perspective, not just through my own needs.
Doing blockout / prototype is supposed to be easy and fast to do anyway, but they can’t just be random. It’s where you start to infuse some visual style, or client’s specifics.
Say I need some blockout of those buildings :
What kind of prompt is going to give me a result that is going to fit that visual style ? Is it even possible ?
Now the blockout is just the starting point, after that there is a bunch of creative iterations that are going to make the final product. That’s why it’s not just about making a blockout, but also organizing the scene in a way it’s easy to change and evolve. And there is no strict rules for that, it depends on the project’s specifics and the discussions with the client.
We can say that the tech isn’t there yet but in a few years it’s going to be, IDK I think at some point the complexity of the required results and the changes we need to do on a regular basis is going to make those AI assistant very difficult to work with.
Obviously it’s not a black and white situation and there could be some uses. But instead of looking at modeling / scene generation that isn’t going to work in practice you might look into making that an actual assistant and see where it can really help artists in their work not just doing things that any artist is supposed to know.
