Ask HN: Why are so many of you so critical of AI?
<i>&gt;How is progress in AI as of late _not_ mind-blowing</i><p>It <i>is</i> mind-blowing. This has absolutely no bearing on whether anyone should be critical of it or not, though.<p><i>&gt;For such a &quot;technical&quot; and &quot;smart&quot; cohort</i><p>You are attempting to imply that HN should de-facto align with AI by appealing to ego, but that doesn&#x27;t really work here - it is in fact that &quot;technical&quot;&#x2F;&quot;smart&quot; cohort that leads to the healthy criticism.<p>I would wager there <i>is</i> an issue wherein healthy criticism has started to get drowned out, and if your point was that - rather than trying to say it&#x27;s just denial - you might have an interesting discussion.
