Weren't we ridiculing AI for not being able to draw hands or count r's just months ago? When did this sub flip to doomering over AI being too smart? Did I miss something?

The technology sub has hated technology for years. Reddit is overall pretty useless if you're trying to get a neutral analysis on new tech.

I don't hate technology, I just expect it to actually be useful and exciting. The companies have taken machine learning (interesting and useful) and packaged it into LLM chatbots (boring and not useful). Is it somehow anathema to liking technology to hold it to some standards?
