The people behind this stuff have a lot of strange ideas about AI and “the singularity.” They’re too far gone to have anything but terrible ideas. The people making this have forgotten that this is just a statistical algorithm and not magic. So in a sense, they really are techpriests.
I’m not sure if some of them ever knew entirely possible that the people running the companies have no understanding of the technology involved
Like any good con, they just use a bunch of fancy words to make it seem way more impressive than it is, and like any con that goes too far, they start to believe their own hype and forget that they can’t actually deliver what they promised.
