@inthehands My grand unified theory of AI hype: The main players of the hype process (journalists, venture capital, CEOs, etc.) have careers of listening to fluent, helpful experts, and they're overfitted on what expertise sounds like.
It's hard to become an expert advisor to a CEO without actually being an expert. LLMs bypass that. They make fluent, expert-shaped sentences without any of the expertise. Those people have no defense.
