I’m honestly starting to feel gaslit by how people talk about AI right now.

Am I losing my mind, or has the discourse around AI become completely unhinged on both sides? On one hand, you have the tech-bros and executives acting like every single update is a "history-defining moment" that will solve world hunger by next Tuesday. They post these insane, hyper-optimized workflows that nobody in the real world actually uses, claiming we are five minutes away from fully autonomous corporations run by a single prompt. It feels like a massive speculative bubble fueled entirely by hype and FOMO. But on the other hand, the extreme doom-and-gloom crowd is just as exhausting. Every single AI tool is labeled as a "plagiarism machine" or an automatic apocalypse for human creativity. If you admit to using it to summarize a long email or debug a missing semicolon in your code, you get treated like a corporate scab who is actively destroying the economy. The reality? It’s a highly advanced autocomplete. It’s useful for tedious tasks, it sucks at deep reasoning, and it's mostly just a solid productivity tool. Why does every single conversation about this tech have to be a holy war? Are people actually seeing their entire industries collapse, or are we all just screaming into the void because of the non-stop media cycle? Serious question: Has AI actually materially changed your day-to-day life yet, or are we all just reacting to the marketing?
