Honestly, the people hyping up AIs as being "all that" are to blame here. If regular people understood just how stupid the "bag of words" is, they wouldn't pay so much attention to it. But they're told every day by grifter techbros that we're on the verge of the singularity and that basically all jobs will be taken over by AI in the future.

In their greedy quest for ever-more money, these charlatans are the real grime in the system.
