Compared to the blockchain type train, I thought this whole AI thing was quite cool and actually useful, but it feels more and more similar to the blockchain hype, where companies tried to solve every problem with some form of blockchain (for example in-game items).
The same is kind of happening with AI now.
Also, a large amount of those NFT bros have lately been pushing to allow AI companies to steal artist's works and otherwise generally licking big AI companies' collective boot, so not exactly a great look for the future of the industry
Define "a lot"? Or better yet, sources?
A lot, as in a large amount, its hard to put a finite number on something like a large part of a large community I am not a part of nor interested in.
I am not the only one who has noticed this, here is a skit video from 4 moths ago demonstrating this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTBCzH1UyNY
As for sources there are TONS, it takes 5 seconds of googling to find a whole page, including:

Yeah I don’t know why it’s a surprise to anyone that NFT losers are now morphing into AI losers. It’s a bunch of talentless hacks trying to get rich quick through the lowest possible input of effort. Bonus points that they get to annoy a lot of people in the process.
Yeah, but if you buy my course, and not the 100 000 courses, I will show you how to get rich, just like me! The other 100 000 courses don't know my secret. But for 2000$, I will tell you my secret.
What's 2000$ when you will be a millionaire soon?
A fool and their apes are soon parted

The same is kind of happening with AI now.
Time and time again a certain intellectual category of people believes that they have found perpetuum mobile in their lives.
And some others make money on that, of course.
It's just to boost investor confidence. It'll take a few years before it dies down, the true value is understood and the next buzzword takes hold. Sad state of tech these days. Many grifters, many more losers.
