The cargo cult around AI on this website is making me second guess a career choice that has always been obvious to me.
In addition to not enjoying my work as much as what I used to because it's become babysitting an superpowered AI toddler, I now have to deal with this kind of opinion online.

That's hopefully temporary: you are dealing with provisional architectures - as is obvious by their lackings (transparency; reflection; evolution; one shot learning...).
The very fact that you use the term 'AI' for LLMs when some of us would not ("NNs are used in AI" does not mean that all NNs would be AI), or would be wary of that use signifies a problem that is being tackled and will be worked on until the next stage.
The meta-economy losing touch with reality is a symptom of late stage capitalism. It used to matter whether a technology could solve a problem, then it started to also matter whether this fact could be explained to savvy investors, and now it only matters whether it can be explained to stupid investors because they are the ones with the money. You used to have to sell a product people wanted to get their money, but now customers don't have any money because it's all with billionaires so those are the only people you have to please.
Except a couple of messages, most of the comments questioning our standards of AI integration have been downvoted into oblivion.
Even questioning is starting to feel like a crime here.
