Not only techbros though. Most of my friends are not into computers but they all think AI is magical and will change the whole world for the better. I always ask "how can a blackbox that throws up random crap and runs on the computers of big companies out of the country would change anything?" They don't know what to say but they still believe something will happen and a program can magically become sentient. Sometimes they can be fucking dumb but I still love them.

the more you know what you are doing the less impressed you are by ai. calling people that trust ai idiots is not a good start to a conversation though

It's not like they're flat earthers they are not conspiracy theorists. They have been told by the media, businesses, and every goddamn YouTuber that AI is the future.

I don't think they are idiots I just think they are being lied to and are a bit gullible. But it's not worth having the argument with them, AI is going to fail on its own it doesn't matter what they think.
