I Have Two Groups of AI Friends
Synthèse
The first group thinks AI is mostly a scam, like NFT / mint grifting in crypto, and that we're wasting billions of dollars on a bunch of vaporware. Not all of them believe all of these, obviously. Say AI can be useful for some useful stuff, but it's way overhypedClaim modern AI like Gemini 2.5 or Sonnet 4 are not even real intelligence (my friend Marcus Hutchins). Constantly make fun of silly mistakes that AI's make, like counting the number of r's in the word Strawberry (my friend Christofer Ho

Say AI can be useful for some useful stuff, but it's way overhypedClaim modern AI like Gemini 2. 5 or Sonnet 4 are not even real intelligence (my friend Marcus Hutchins). Constantly make fun of silly mistakes that AI's make, like counting the number of r's in the word Strawberry (my friend Christofer Hoff)Saying repeatedly, in various ways, that AI is "just next-token prediction"—meaning it's just a parlour trick, and it doesn't actually understand or reason.
And that they've "figured this out" because they looked into it, and people like me are deceived ourselves and are in turn deceiving others. Claim the entire thing is a hype train powered by billionaires and VCs trying to get rich. In other words, just another example of Capitalism ruining everything. Etc. Not speaking specifically about anyone mentioned thus far here, but to the naysayers more generally.
