In a sense maybe it’s a good thing this big AI hype is here so prematurely. People will misuse it and rely too heavily on it, and it will fuck everything up, since it can’t really do what these execs and the media want to claim it can do. So it will fuck up and hopefully people will learn from that. And we can start seeing products advertised as AI free.

And then when AI finally does get to the point where it is capable of doing these amazing things, we will be more careful at that time. Maybe. Hopefully.
