"Technologies like LLMs have utility, but the absurd way they've been over-hyped, the fact they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."
Thank you! this needs to be yelled from the rooftops.
10+ years ago I began detoxing myself from ads. Especially TV ads. Then, a few years later, when I tried YouTube Premium I really felt the positive effect.
Now it is mainly when watching live sport on linear TV I see it, and wow how bad it has become. Scary even to now know and really feel the contrast.
I am quite sure that successful detoxification of my mind - very much is helping to avoid falling for the AI hype. I am simply not numbed down enough for #FOMO to do it trickery.
