Please all this hard sell on complicated boondogles that will save us from the complexities of life. The concept of AI is as old of computers. Maybe older. People have been claiming we are just some form of AI since writing began. The turn of phrase may have been cast in anger and it clearly displeased people since it got downvoted to oblivion.

You can call it dismissive, but calling it ignorant is uncalled for. Producing the first half decent chatbot is not a good outcome given the time and effort put into this.

I think the poster tried to denounce the hype as a detrimental effect on the AI industry as search for actual solutions. Which may come from the confusion between the phases and outcomes of "Research" and "Development", where the "exciting" results of the "R" have created a fever on the "D" - also, since funding remains critical.
