Journalists are feeding the AI hype machine

In today’s world, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a hot topic with constant news stories and articles proclaiming the latest advancements and potential capabilities of AI technology.

However, many journalists are guilty of feeding the AI hype machine by exaggerating the current capabilities of AI and painting a picture of a future where AI will solve all of our problems and revolutionize every industry.

While AI has made significant advancements in recent years, it is important to remember that AI is still a developing technology with limitations and challenges that need to be addressed. By exaggerating the capabilities of AI, journalists are creating unrealistic expectations and contributing to the hype surrounding AI.

It is important for journalists to provide balanced and accurate reporting on AI, highlighting both the potential benefits and limitations of the technology. By doing so, journalists can help to educate the public and promote a more realistic understanding of AI and its capabilities.
