> the doomer marketing

It is not doomer marketing - it is clever psy-ops magic trick.

1) Software is described in super-human terms when it is plain-old software. Was stockfish described like this ? no.

2) Datacenters become AI-factories.

3) Hardware becomes investible assets.

4) Malware becomes a super-human breakout (oai/hf)

All clever framing to market the new technology. If it is called for what it really is ie, a software tool, it is boring and does not sell so easily. What sells is the mystique.

Agreed!

George Carlin has an amazing show about how language has changed over his lifetime in a different way.

You would certainly enjoy it.
