I don't dismiss the idea of faster than light travel, and AFAIK we have no way to confirm that outside of ideas (and simply ideas) like wormholes or other cheats to "fold space". I don't dismiss AI. But I do dismiss what is currently sold to me. It's the equivalent of saying "we made a rocket that can go mach 1000!". That's impressive. But we're still 2-3 magnitudes off from light speed. So I will still complain about the branding despite some dismissals of "yea but imagine in another 100 years!". It's not about semantics so much as principle. That's on top of the fact that we'd only starting to really deal with significant time dilation by that point, and we know it'll get more severe as we iterate. What we're also not doing is using this feat to discuss how to address those issues. And that's the real frustrating part.
