Couldn't agree more.
Thankfully I believe this is largely just overblown hype. Silicon Valley has gotten way too high on it's own supply of bullshit and the AI craze is that being taken to the next level of insanity. Regardless, the tech industry is amoral at best. We are so obsessed with "can we" (or rather "can we convince a VC that we could") that we never take the time to stop to consider "should we".
Ultimately, watching tech find new and innovative ways to fool and to fleece people has, at times, almost made me feel shame that I've been part of this industry for almost 25 years now.
We are addicted to the idea of disruption and the monetary rewards that come with it. Generally we don't care if we sink the rest of the world in the process either.

Damn shame, that.
