I think you and I must have different definitions of the word "hype".
To me, it means LinkedIn influencers screaming "AGI is coming!", "It's so over", "Programming as a career is dead" etc.
Or implying that LLMs are flawless technology that can and should be used to solve every problem.
To hype something is to provide a dishonest impression of how great it is without ever admitting its weaknesses. That's what I try to avoid doing with LLMs.
"To hype something is to provide a dishonest impression of how great it is" is accurate.
Marketing hype is all about "provide a dishonest impression of how great it is". Putting the weaknesses in fine print doesn't change the hype
Anyways I don't mean to pile on but I agree with some of the other posters here. An awful lot of extremely pro-AI posts that I've noticed have your name on them
I don't think you are as critical of the tech as you think you are.
