You have to give openai credit - their marketing strategy and effort is amazing. There’s spam everywhere. Albeit those claiming their jobs are already being replaced or those claiming they’ve written entire apps using chat gpt are quieting down a bit. They’ve either been called out for their nonsense or they got ahead of themselves.
But nowadays, you can profit off people's attention alone directly. This does not prove that there is no genuine interest. I am geniuenly interested myself.
But, there are financial incentives in generating a lot of sensational content, whether positive or negative about almost everything including AI, Rust, political issues, even scientific issues like climate or pandemics, etc.
