Critics Brand AI Hype as Ego-Driven 'Koolaid'

Original: I started referring to the techbro, AI brainwashing # koolaid as containing # egojiuce , as none of it makes any sense.

Commenters are mocking the enthusiasm around artificial intelligence, coining the phrase 'egojuice' to describe what they see as ego-driven, illogical thinking behind AI promotion. The sentiment frames tech industry advocates as small-minded people pushing hype that 'makes no sense', reflecting growing frustration among some users with the scale and tone of AI marketing and its perceived appeal to vanity rather than reason.

Why now: Frustration with AI hype is spilling into open mockery of tech industry advocates.
