some people are so determined to be positive about AI that at some point it just comes across like they’re getting paid to be

There are quite a lot of posts like that. Just a bit too eager. Proselytising as if AI is a religion.

I don't think I did that at all, and I call out that sort of bullshit all the time and get downvoted lol (idgaf :P)

Mods tolerate it for some reason I suppose.

Maybe some/many even are? For "AI" companies it's not really a big expense in comparison and they depend hugely on keeping the hype going.
