AI bros are just as shitty as dot-com/NFT bros were

[kane_magus]

When I say "I want the AI bubble to burst," I'm not even saying I want all the generative AIs/LLMs to go away. It's mainly that I just want all the slimy AI bros to go away. AI shills say shit like "yeah well, when the dot com bubble burst, did the Internet go away? No. AI is here to stay so fuck you," or "you're a hypocrite if you ever criticize AI even a little while participating in societyusing the Internet. Ha ha gottem!" or "*sea lion noises*"

I don't necessarily want gen AI/LLMs gone when the bubble bursts, any more than I wanted dot coms gone when that bubble burst or wanted the entire concept of blockchain to disappear when the NFT bubble burst. I just want all the stupid, shitty, shilly, slimy, smarmy AI bros to go way, like how (most of) the dot com bros and NFT shills went away. I just want people to stop being so hyperbolically goddamned asinine about it.
