I recently described something as being “trivial” and was told that this word carries a negative connotation. I’m used to using this word when talking about technical or security issues.

For example, “finding your ip address is trivial.” Meaning, the effort to do it is extremely low. In this case, there’s nothing inherently negative about being able to look up an ip address extremely easily. (Well, depending on the context, it could be positive or negative.) Or, another example: “with ai tools, it’s trivially easy to write quick summaries of common topics.”

Is this use of the word in a positive / neutral context unique to the space I’m in? Does it more commonly have a negative connotation to it?

Edit: for example, on https://www.dictionary.com/browse/trivial the first definition is "of very little importance or value; insignificant" which does seem to be a negative sort of thing?
