Is it just me or was tech more fun a decade ago. All this AI stuff is missing the sillyness, like naming your AI after a fictional dragon.
My guess is that in the past, the tech worked but was complex so they used fun mascots to make it more approachable. Whereas AI has a more fake it till you make it strategy.

The blatantly evil surveillance company that talks about killing its customers’ enemies is named after a set of magical seeing stones the bad guy in lotr uses to twist and corrupt its users and find where to send the ringwraiths. It’s owned by gay christofascist nosferatu.
He also named his weapons company after a cool sword, from the same series of books. The guy who owns it throws his old clothes away instead of washing them, and still, I’m told, always smells like a homeless camp.
There’s still whimsy.
