I wouldn't say I'm an AI skeptic but these AI influencers give me exactly the same ick as the crypto influencers did before them (and let's be honest, a lot of the time it's exactly the same people)
They all follow the same pattern - reposting impressive videos of tech that they didn't build and only vaguely understand, while proclaiming them as evidence of some world-changing paradigm shift that's just around the corner, and implying that somehow they are at the forefront of it
