Back in the 90s, everyone talked about how AI would transform the world fundamentally. But ask people today what actually happened? The reality's pretty different. Most of what we see is folks using AI to automate engagement farming, pump out low-effort marketing spam, and juice their follower counts with machine-generated garbage. Meanwhile, maybe 1% of people are actually building something meaningful with code. The gap between the hype and what's really going on is... kind of wild when you think about it.
