Critic examines AI marketing hype, calls for measured framing
- I don't hate generative AI itself, but rather the marketing around it being "the future"
- Technology companies often market new products as "the future"
- I distrust when people definitively state that AI is the inevitable future
- The videogame industry in particular markets sequels and new consoles as stepping stones toward "the new"
- I've reflected on my own coverage of AI tools and regret framing them as an inevitable technological progression
