But...is it and are they? Gen AI boosters tend to make assertions like this as if they're unassailable facts, but never seem interested in backing them up. I guess it's easier than thinking.

The whole mindset of LLM boosterism is that thinking is obsolete anyway — all you need is pattern matching on existing data — so it's not surprising that they don't want to indulge in it excessively.

As a tech person..

For the boosters, notice how few or many come from a tech background and pay attention accordingly
