What I dislike is that the term AI has gone the way of terms like “hacking” and “the web” — I’ve been working with AI for over two decades, and suddenly LLMs are getting VC funding that’s enough to buy up the world’s memory and CPUs, use up entire communities’ water supplies, and set back responsible use of fossil fuels by decades. And now we’re being told to use these massive models or be replaced by them.

In other words, the problem isn’t AI, it’s people (as usual).
