Difference is in how you sell it.
We all know that people make mistakes. I.e. crash a car from time to time.
We all are sold a view that AI will save humanity, cure all diseases, solve all problems, allow for autonomous driving and many other (lies?).
While making basic mistakes or crashing on trivial crossroads..
Hype is way overblown.
The anti-hype is also way overblown. Nobody is saying that today's AI is omniscient and never makes mistakes. Future models will make fewer mistakes. They will still not hook into the universe with a cheat code and do everything at 100 percent reliability. It's a straw man.
The hype has significant real-world consequences such as nonsensical amounts of funding and valuations that could crash the world economy at some point. Until there some "check" on this system, i think the anti-hype is quite valid.
Overblown? Not really. There is still not enough of criticism given asinine hype given by the LLM and adjacent companies.
Funny of you to mention strawman after presenting one.
