I am very concerned at the level of moron in the AI field.

That part, at least, is nothing new. There are two types of people in tech: “computer geeks” who were programming before it was cool, and get-rich-quick assholes who don’t give a shit but just hop on the latest trend. I have absolutely zero doubt that, even if the former type were the ones who made the generative AI breakthroughs, the companies marketing it to the masses are flooded with the latter.
