I’ll paraphrase something I saw a few weeks ago and now cannot find, sums up my feelings pretty well.
The people I love hate AI, and the people I hate love AI. But the things that intrigued me about technology in the first place also intrigues me about this technology.
I mean. There would be no salesman if the snake oil didn’t exist.
Also snake oil refers to a fake product. Why would you “not hate” the fake product? At its foundation the sole purpose of the existence of snake oil is to be disingenuous and scam customers.
I disagree. If not snake oil it would be something else. There are certain personality traits salesman seem to all have. I would describe it as a comfort with being disingenuous. Say or do anything to get money. Its often portrayed as “hustle culture” and praised. We should be condemning those traits not praising them.
I don’t particularly hate the snake oil, I hate the salesmen.
I hate both.

Hate the game not the player.

I think you’re taking my comment a bit too literally. My big problem with AI is who is pushing it and how much they’re pushing it.
