It's disingenuous. There's a difference between getting into a topic because it interests someone, and getting into a topic because it's incredibly hyped right now. Do you really believe it's the former...?

Considering OP mentioned a lot of recent hype trains relating to AI, it's perfectly reasonable to assume they are chasing dollars, rather than contributing to the underlying technology without further expectations.

So, OP comes off as very disingenuous when they lead with the hype and provide nothing of substance.
