This is exactly what happened with blockchain. Some people built blockchain and had a community who thought the idea was cool. Then people came in and realized they could use it to build scams and make money, ruining the reputation of blockchain tech and hurting naive people. It seems that people kind of suck.

    AI is a bunch of executives huffing their own turd vapors. It will take a bit of time for the hype to die down because there are some genuinely great uses for the current tech, but it's instead going to be another cycle of pumping video cards so everyone can have a shitty Star Trek Ship's Computer.
