AI is one last Gigantic Tech Bro Scam, before the whole business crashes. I'm not saying there will be no AI, and that it cannot do some things, but so far all it can really do is write barely usable code, and provide emotional support for two generations of emotionally damaged young people.
It makes things up, it hides it's own malfeasance, and lies when directly questioned.
It was, and always has been a very bad idea, but folks who's belief in Technology is unshakeable, cannot be made to see how much damage AI can do.
So, in their blindness they press on, lying to both themselves and us about what a Wonderful Thing AI is, and what Wonderful Things it can do.
