I’ve said for a long time: the tech world likes to reinvent magic every few years. It can be exciting, but it’s also really dangerous when we wave the wand, tell people not to worry about things behind the curtain, instead of taking time to explain, and educate everyone. Transparency is key.
Magic can sometimes be very similar to snake oil.
