More likely, we are currently experiencing a calibration phase for a new technology, during which individuals are attempting to gauge others' understanding and interest in it.

Right now, everybody is shouting "You have to look at this awesome thing!!", while in fact others are already aware of it, or even tired of it. Hence the complaints. This will pass quickly.

The issue isn't that they're shilling AI. It's that the algorithm rewards these low-value hustlers because they create "engagement" with their spammy threads that pollute the feed.

I have seen this exact pattern with other things like "front-end development", "stocks and investing" and many other topics where there's money to be made by selling something to somebody. It gives the whole of Twitter a cynical, soullessness that's growing by the day.
