The tech industry is guilty of fanning the flames of hype to get funding. A lot of people are rightly annoyed over some of the more outlandish claims that were made over the past 1-2 years.

Come on man I'm not going to go through countless blogposts from a year ago and then argue with you about them if they were overhyping AI or not. But if you recall the discussion a year ago was apocalyptic, both for the human race and software engineering jobs.
