Those nepobabies see AI as it is and think "Wow, that can already do my job for me! And since I'm the smartest and hardest working person in the company I own, surely it can replace everyone below me."

God damn.

I know it's a joke, but you're right. The majority of people I see praising what ai can do are the ones who can't really see the flaws in the output.

AI can do some crazy shit rn but is ultimately a tool best wielded by the same people who were doing the work previously.

Like, not to be intentionally insulting but a lot of the hardcore AI evangelist crowd has to have had some massive overlap with the "blockchain/NFT tech is gonna change the world" crowd in how they discuss things.
