We need to find a better term than “gas town” syndrome for that break in reality people have when they convince themselves that having countless “agents” at their beck and call will let them perform miracles and “build” like gods

On a related note, as I browse I keep running into newsletters and blogs I used to follow who used to be at least performatively critical of "AI" but are now all-in as true true believers.
And a note related to that:
“Why did you stop following them if they hadn’t fallen into the ‘AI’ trap yet?”
Because the “AI” turn is almost always preceded by a steady increase in fascist dog whistles.
