The other half does not know how people rate things.

It's an effective tool at providing introductory information to well documented topics. A smarter Google Search, basically. And that's all I really want it to be. Overrated? Probably not. It's useful if you use it correctly. Overhyped? Yeah, but that's more a fault of marketing than technology.

That is like saying that the screwdriver is the most over-rated tool in the tool box.

Each tool has a place and a usage. AI is just another tool in toolbox that is used to get things done.

As a college student, I agree with the idea and statement of AI being overrated. It'll definitely have its' place in this world, but I definitely don't foresee us being able to utilize it to the fullest before we end up in a nuclear hellhole.

Giant markov chains are shit, not a hot take imo

The generative AI is great but I don't expect it to fully replace human workers or not entirely. The current tech has a lot of limitations and I can see this tech as greatly improving the work productivity and handling some monotone and mundane tasks but it would require some sort of human supervision.
