I find this to be a bit exaggerated but there are a few fair points. I think people are starting to see that ai is not as good as the demos and flashy videos makes them believe. Since the day chatgpt came out, my biggest problem with it has been the fact that you will ask it a mildly difficult question on any subject and it will confidently give you a response that's complete bs. And I'm starting to see people coming to the same conclusion as time goes by, despite the advancements. Ai has a place in this world even with it's current limitations and shortcomings, no doubt about it - there are cases in which it does a nearly perfect job - I'm currently building an AI rig for my home lab because it has a ton of use cases even outside my daily work(where I do use llms for processing unstructured data).
The second issue I see is that data is becoming widely unavailable-everything is getting blocked, crawlers are getting cut off immediately, 1000 API calls cost as much as a mid-sized flat in a European capital - the complete opposite of what the internet was supposed to be.
The third issue is the fact that people are gladly using chatgpt to answer questions on stackoverflow for example. We know how badly llms start performing when you train them on their own data... Not to mention the considerable spike in critical bugs in open source projects over the last two years-there's a good chance it a lot to do with it.
The fourth is social media-there are already tons of examples where troll farms are no longer paid workers in some dump in siberia but are in fact powered by chatgpt out some other service. And to think that I laughed at the dead internet theory when I first heard about it...
