I really think a lot of folks were conned by a smooth operator and a polished demo, so now everyone has to suffer though having this nebulous thing rammed down our throats regardless of its real utility because people with higher pay grades believe it has utility.

It feels like a lot of “AI is inevitable; you are failing to make this abundant future inevitable by your skepticism.”
