The marketing pushes which allude to vaguely seeming to assert capabilities of these products, and then the greater community calling skeptics of the technology crazy such as a prominent article previously discussed on HN some time ago, certainly don't help anyone. The sheer amount of money justifying any and all uses and preventing honest discussion of the problems is a kind of crazy making for sure, and even now just about any argument cannot gain purchase without thought terminating allusions to imagined capabilities or implications of potential capabilities, etc.
