I will sometimes reply to the doom and gloom posts but with no intent of swarming, but rather expressing a counter-opinion.

In fact, I would argue that the anti-AI folks are quite a bit more condescending and hostile than the other way around.

There may be, in fact, a bubble and a major correction with it, but it doesn't nullify the long-term value of AI and it certainly doesn't make it a "pet rock" product.

As with any issue, there is a lot of propaganda fueling both sides.
