"Anyone lumping AI in with gambling and crypto scams has their head firmly in the sand."
I disagree. While some AI related stuff is promising, much of it is consumerist or data harvesting. Many people are basically gambling on any sort of stock related to AI (vs diversifying). Education is likely declining as adoption allows students to avoid critical thought or applying concepts.
"It's frankly a miracle, and it keeps making more leaps and bounds every time the peanut gallery starts going on about it having hit a wall it can never improve from."
Explainable by engineering isn't a miracle. It's just an expanse on neural nets and the other predecessors from 30 years ago. In my experience, it has trouble following basic directions such as keeping a summary to a single page.

This common viewpoint is almost certainly no more than another iteration of Plato decrying the invention of books. > Explainable by engineering isn't a miracle. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/miracle https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/miracle 2: an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment.

- giantg2 9mo agoBooks and calculators still required knowledge of concepts and application. That's vastly different from students today asking AI to write a book report for them and retaining no knowledge from it. I don't consider AI to be outstanding. Maybe that bridge they're talking about was. Seems that this comes down to opinion.
