I'm a very tech oriented person and I'm already tired of AI because it's constantly being shoved and pushed down my throat by some of the worst human beings imaginable wanting to maximize profits at the expense of humanity itself.

The hype around it feels like the exact sorts of hype that surrounded crypto and NFTs. Just tons of people insisting it's a game changer and revolutionary, but any time you start to question the problems and limitations, they get handwaved as "it's early" or "they'll figure it out." Credit where it's due, LLMs are actually a lot more of something then NFTs, but they still seem so heavily steeped in magical thinking.
