A couple years later, it’s still bogus, and the hype tsunami has climbed even higher. Probably nothing I could have done would have punctured the bubble, but I regret not trying.

I agree :) Thanks for the feedback! And I’m not going to do more than rant on twitter. The current hype wave will probably die out in another few years. It’s just annoying that I’ve killed AI before but it still keeps rising from the dead every few decades.
