Tell HN: AI hype is bs but AI models are useful

3•behnamoh•2h ago
I see a lot of posts about AI, LLMs, MCP, vibe-coding, <buzz-word-of-the-month> on HN and other places, but most of them are quite honestly void of any value.

Don't get me wrong; I use AI models almost everyday one way or another, and I think we've come a long way since the first GPT. But the hype around AI has gotten out of hand. It seems the secret sauce to promote your blogspam is to throw in some keywords like "MCP" in the title and subtly talk about your product in the article.

I'm sick of it and am sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, but as a community we must do a better job not giving a platform to all this bs.

Like with any new wave of technology, the masses try to ride the wave, however they can - either creating a spinoff company that will ultimately go bust, or spamming hn with blog posts about their experiences.

It’s yet another hype cycle, and exhibits very similar traits as the dotcom bubble. Want funding? Just use a .ai domain.

CEOs are talking about AGI or super-intelligence, but this is all hype driven nonsense to try to convince people that their stock evaluations are justified.

Whats particularly dangerous about this hype cycle is that the technologists try to convince us that humans are now replaceable with said technology, this teaches people to be lazy, promotes brain rot and ultimately leverages the situation even more.

It’s going to pop.
