No idea if the creator of this site falls into the former or latter group... or neither.
- ericd 3y agoIt seems like a lot of people are using it to do real, actual, helpful work, especially learning about new topics. I'm not sure it's productive to call it hype at this point.
- tnorthcutt 3y agoOh to clarify, I don't think it's all hype! But, in my opinion, there is plenty of breathless hype (much like any other new development).
- JohnFen 3y ago"Hype" doesn't mean that there's nothing useful. It means that the benefits are being exaggerated beyond what the evidence supports. I think that holds extremely true in the AI space right now, with people talking about AGI being right around the corner, etc.
