Princeton University's 'AI Snake Oil' authors say generative AI hype has 'spiraled out of control'

"I approach all of this from a place of optimism. The reason I do tech criticism is because of the belief that things can be better. And if we look at all kinds of past crises, things worked out in the end, but that’s because people worried about them at key moments." I like the place the article is coming from, and the importance of distinguishing between predictive and generative ID. Of course, the click-bait title (probably crafted by an editor) contains none of the nuance that is present in the article and the interview, but hey, it's the internet.
