"One of the handful of things Twitter still has going for it is that it’s the main place people are talking about A.I"

This is a really strange way to start an article, because I can tell you that here in small town middle of nowhere America, even the old guys down at the VFW hall are talking about AI. I can't get through a full day without someone at random (at Rotary, in the grocery checkout line...) talking about it. Which tells me there's probably as much "get rich quick" and other "gold rush" type BS happening here as there is good computer science.

I can keep track of what grifts have made it to the main stream purely by my boss asking me if I'd heard/made money on X yet. As if I'd be here if I made bank off of crypto/nfts/etc. He's in his 70s now and keeps asking for ideas on making it big because the timeshares he bought of some man made island resort didn't play out.
