You’re 100% right, both of these technologies are absolutely stained by the people pushing them for their own benefit. I think they _could be_ extremely useful technologies and I’m hoping this era of overhype doesn’t push the timeframe of that usefulness back because a bunch of billionaires were trying to buy their 4th yacht. I’m just _really_ tired of the parroted and reactionary “blockchain/AI bad” comments because they often have no nuance. It’s not the implementation that’s “bad”, it’s seemingly that they used the tech at _all_.

It’s not the implementation that’s “bad”, it’s seemingly that they used the tech at all. Agreed on that, too. There was this one instance of a remastered” TV show, partially processed with GANs, a long time ago. I pointed this out (as apparently this little detail was forgotten with time), and I got *chewed out*. Reddit commenters either claimed I was lying (when I helped work on it), or declared it was now awful and intolerable just because it’s “AI”… something they had loved for years, way before the LLM bubble.
