The AI craze is quite possibly the most annoying hype cycle I’ve ever witnessed.

Doesn't matter, the title is out there, news outlets will omit this little detail. Even here the post is gaining in popularity even after the top comment has questioned its validity.

it feeds into the typical egotistical nerd fallacy of "im smart in X, that translates to be smart at almost everything else with lower effort".

I myself have to keep my stinking paws from some projects at work due to realizing that AI was making me believe I could shit taller than my ass.

It's like revenge of the nerds, but this time the other nerds outside the AI craze are the target instead of the typical bully.

I don't see how the post displays blind faith. The author contacted the relevant authority in Mexico to ask if they already had a record of this village, and even after they said that they didn't, he was careful to hedge and not to claim that this was definitely an original discovery. He flagged the speculative part of the post as speculation, and as far as I can tell, the parts he was confident about have not been disputed.
