I don't think I could feel any greater 'AI'*-everything fatigue. I'm catching snippets of my wife (a lecturer at the polytech) listening to a presentation in the other room (via the poly's MS Teams, naturally. 🤮 ) on dealing with 'AI' in the classroom, and it's use (illicit & otherwise) by students. The presenters are gushingly pro-'AI', and I find their enthusiasm incredibly grating and it makes me sad for humanity.

* 'AI' is a misleading marketing term. They're just generative LLMs.

@lightweight I certainly feel this fatigue.

People who view me as a techie ask for my expert opinion on AI, & when it doesn't match this narrative they pull me into an argument I do not want.

This "AI" hype cycle is more exhausting than the blockchain one!
