Compared to the blockchain type train, I thought this whole AI thing was quite cool and actually useful, but it feels more and more similar to the blockchain hype, where companies tried to solve every problem with some form of blockchain (for example in-game items).

The same is kind of happening with AI now.

Also, a large amount of those NFT bros have lately been pushing to allow AI companies to steal artist's works and otherwise generally licking big AI companies' collective boot, so not exactly a great look for the future of the industry

Time and time again a certain intellectual category of people believes that they have found perpetuum mobile in their lives.

And some others make money on that, of course.

It's just to boost investor confidence. It'll take a few years before it dies down, the true value is understood and the next buzzword takes hold. Sad state of tech these days. Many grifters, many more losers.
