Is it THOSE people (the more intelligent) who are hyping AI? What *I* see is the usual crowd of marketing hucksters, people who were promoting Bitcoin a year earlier, and next year will be promoting quantum computing. You’re reading too much into the hype; it’s JUST hype

Many different people (and groups) have different strong opinions about AI, most of which are equally ungrounded in reality.
