I realized the other day during a conversation that this hype cycle is built on top a product that hypes itself.
In any scifi story this would be considered bad writing, yet here we are. Late stage capitalism has created a product that actively nurtures emotional dependence and hypes itself.
It is incredible to me that there is this buggy software out there and people keep insisting that it's "hallucinations". Like, this is ""AI"" and it ""hallucinates"".
No. It's buggy and has been buggy for years and everyone keeps making excuses because they just want so hard to believe.
