It’s worth patiently and persistently pushing back against AI hype in your worksplace to try and counter the bubble evangelists

- Generative AI can’t reason
- Unless a model tells us what it’s trained on, we should assume it’s participated in the largest copyright theft in history
- No incremental improves are going to change this
