Recently, I've noticed that the AI concept around me is truly overwhelming, to the point of being somewhat ridiculous.

When I opened my store, the sales manager's WeChat contacted me, recommending an "AI Homework Grading All-in-One Machine," claiming it can help students submit homework quickly. The friend who used to sell houses on Moments has now switched to the education track, introducing himself as the "AI Rapid Score Improvement Teacher." Even my wife received a business card, and a small meal table babysitting service also launched under the banner of "AI."

To be honest, this wave of AI hype is just like the blockchain concept back then—anything can be associated with it, and everything can be played to the extreme. But there's an interesting comparison—although there are quite a few scams in the crypto world, they tend to be more straightforward. In contrast, these AI concepts are packaged beautifully, and their deception runs even deeper, making them hard to guard against.
