Recently, as has probably been the case in other fields as well, many people feed the public cherry-picked results to hype up what AI can do or to stir up FOMO.

I used to think that in the dev community this sort of thing was less common than elsewhere... because people want to share their experience, what they found, etc.

Now that AI is here, people's experience and knowledge have basically been reset. So it's no different here now, which is a shame (I'm not saying it was better before, though)
