AI Overdose

I'm suffering from a severe case of AI overdose. I'm starting to agree with Linus Torvalds that 90% of AI is marketing hype.

Yes, there's a lot of hype. Yes, AI has some good use cases and AI has saved me a bunch of time on some tasks. But still, the hype is just so overwhelming at the moment that I'm starting to think that Linus Torvalds might be on to something.

I guess hype is what always happens when a new tech emerges. Things will settle down and then we'll see what this is really about. AI will change a lot of things, that's for sure. Hopefully for the better.
