Because this “marketing hype” is affecting the way we do our job.
Some of us are being laid off due to the hype; some are assigned to babysit the AI; and some are simply looked down on by higher ups who are eagerly waiting for a day to lay us all off.
You can convince yourself as much as you want that it’s “just a hype”, but regardless of your beliefs are, it has REAL world consequences.
because we react like this
engineers are testing promising new technology. a mob (of probably half or more bots) is having a [redacted] perpetuating the anti-narrative they huffed themselves up into believing. and now we’re in a meta-[redacted] as if either A) redditors and armchair engineers here have valid opinions on this tech and B) marketers and founders with massive incentives to overpromise are telling a true narrative
why? we don’t have to do it. we could actually look at these topics with nuance and not react like literal bots to everything
