When blockchain and cryptocurrency became a thing I had the concepts explained to me and went "This sounds stupid, this guy probably doesn't understand how it works. It's too big to be this stupid. I must be misunderstanding."
Then I did my own research and went "Oh this is still too stupid to be this big, I must be misunderstanding something. Oh well."
Then the same thing happened with NFTs. And "Metaverse".
And now again with Generative AI. Except this time it's even bigger and stupider somehow. I must be misunderstanding something.
