I don't think anyone was criticizing "AI" when M1 came out, or when such applications were given to Google Pixel to improve camera stuff or whatever.
The issue is that this LLM boom, coinciding with the crypto-bro crash, has caused a lot of scammers to pivot out of cryptocoins and into AI.
There's a real subset of R&D happening with AI no doubt. But keep your guard up, there's also a flood of cryptobros who have lost everything after FTX who are trying to pivot into another field. That's all that I'm saying.
