Ask HN: Was tech always so scammy?
The AI&#x2F;ChatGPT hype is starting to piss me off, it seems like about 50% of HN is now articles about AI. Meanwhile, stuff like the genuinely incredible Unreal Engine 5.2 demo that hit Youtube six days ago only got 14 upvotes on here. What the fuck is going on?<p>I&#x27;ve been using ChatGPT for the last week or two and it&#x27;s not got a single coding question I&#x27;ve asked it right. Seems alright as a &#x27;rubber duck&#x27; for generating ideas and seems okish for creative writing but for not a hell of a lot else at the minute.<p>The visual AI art stuff does seem worth the hype though but yeah, I&#x27;m feeling burnt out on this shit too. Based on everyone I speak to, I think the majority of people are. The pandemic probably didn&#x27;t help.
