Well, I can understand it. It is an amazing (in the literal sense) technology, and yet after playing with it you come to realise it doesn't really deliver what it promises and is more of a demonstration of the power of enormous amounts of data than it is some kind of breakthrough in artificial intelligence. Also, it's probably mostly a backlash to the constant hype and outrageous claims of impending doom or utopia rampant on Twitter and Reddit; HN seemed to be nothing but AI/LLM talk for pretty much the whole of 2023.

I don't know about the claims, but "the claims are exaggerated" is very different from "AI is waste".
