This is ABSOLUTELY on the nose because—money-making grifts aside—belief in AI *IS* essentially a religious conviction.

  The thing that bothers me about the LLM stuff isn't what bothers most other people about the LLM stuff. What gets me is that it's the equivalent of the Southern Baptists, the Anglicans, the Catholics, the Greek Orthodox, the Mormons, the Methodists, the Seventh Day Adventists, just shouting at you, on every corner, one corner after the other, "HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT JESUS?" Yes? From him over there? Twice? You're surprised I don't care that you are also offering Slightly Different Jesus™?

  @BradRubenstein I mean the *obvious* money-making grifts designed to extract cash from investors by hyping the bubble.
