I work for a large company in NL, and we have offices all over. It's mostly a US thing from what I can tell, every time we have any kind of meeting with US-based people, especially if it's people from the SF office, they are rabid about AI to the point that they all sound genuinely batshit insane.The remainder of the company outside the US (95% of the workforce, with pretty much every single engineer being based in NL) don't give a shit and use AI in a reasonable way to enhance some work without all the insane hype around it.

It makes sense though, US workers have less protections and rights than across the pond so they have to bow in fear to their managers, who themselves have the typical Silicone Valley brainrot, and since we're currently at the cusp of a massive bubble pop they need to try their hardest to justify the infinites amount of money being spent on the scam
