I’m sick of things being hyped on potential too.
VR is an example. (Michael Abrash predictions anyone?) Unfinished games are an example. (Multiplayer Cyberpunk 2077 anyone?)
VR is such an incredible thing for me because I somehow avoided any and all hype around it, then got to play around with some oculus thing at a conference and play Beat Saber and was like wow, this is really cool
And then you start reading people compare AI hype to VR hype and I’m just sitting there being like wait, was this ever supposed to be more than a Beat Saber platform? What did they claim it would do? Oh no.
The ultimate purpose of AI was always to tell me what digit this is, anything else is just grift
