Blindly dismissing everyone not impressed by the AI hype only serves to further delegitimize the AI hype.

  • Totally right! The folks who were very recently telling us we were all going to be trading NFTs in the metaverse are the clear eyed optimists not motivated by anything but rational consideration for the truth.

  • It seems like you get personally offended by people using their critical reasoning abilities.

    I know a folk who did a PhD in the area, and work at one of those frontier labs as a researcher, and privately he is as sceptical as the most "stubborn" HN denizen you mention.

    Unbounded enthusiasm for AI without any reservations is something that can only be born out of minds utterly deprived of imagination and creativity.
