A lot of it his vastly exaggerated. You will get like a one person post something on twitter and suddenly it’s a new trend. Also, you can easily find 10 people to sing up for anything. So someone will setup a facebook group about falling in love with AI, some people will join out of curiosity, 10 people will post about their “wireborn husbands” and the media will run with it like it’s common now.
