Every time the AI is being hyped, someone from a different pipeline pops in to remind us how wrong everyone and all the experts are except them.

this is your motte, but your bailey was the one I quoted: “_Everytime_ ai systems entered… experts have been proven wrong”.

Which of course, hasn’t happened in this timeline.

There's real downsides too like professionals unskilling themselves, and the cycle of low quality source being fed back into training.
