People were just afraid of losing their jobs, that’s why they buzzed so much about new wave of AI, meanwhile its just an utility that scrambled other peoples’ experiences over the internet, no real revolution happened. If you already got boring job, you’ve got nothing to lose.
False hype is a common thing this era. Mass hysteria. It’s all about the internet too.
To neutralize mass anxiety, ignore over-hyped issues, very accurately touch mass media sources, even ‘top quality’ newspapers like nyc times or the guardian tends to leave such a mess in your head after all. Remember – they profit from this fear/clickbait.
The only thing to fear is the fear itself.
