I think for a project like asahi, and frankly any project with a reasonable blast radius, software or otherwise, the article is on point.

The authors lack of professionalism is a reasonable counter to the completely unhinged mainstream takes on ai/llms that we hear daily.

I think the Reddit example provides useful, generally relatable context, otherwise missing to the average reader.

My opinions are not to detract from the use of the tech or engineers working in the space, but motivated by a disgust for the hype.

The mainstream seems sort of anti-AI from what I get in the non-tech sphere. Ex: artists generally hate it. Writers generally hate it. Many people think it's damaging to society and are very pessimistic.

Marketing is completely ridiculous when it comes to the topic, but when isn't that enough in the case with the next shiny thing. They even extolled the life changing virtues of 3D TVs for one of the cycles.

I honestly hear far more unhinged AI doomer stuff and constant pessimism that makes me sort of sad (after all it is cool tech that will do a lot of new things) than AI sycophantism, do you not? If so, where? Granted this is a US perspective, where there is currently a deep seated pessimistic undercurrent about just about everything right now.

I will go as far to say as every time I’ve used ai it has provided critically incorrect output, never anything of use.
