Because we've been told it is and it'd take a massive re-education campaign to assert otherwise at this point.

Yea, Is Ray Kurzweil's futurism bunk still widely taught in economics courses in college? Because all that stuff is like, make believe. I'm not aware of any evidence to support any of it will ever be a reality, especially not in the public consciousness.

For the record the actual machine learning stuff I've seen... is very rudimentary and not at all interesting (at least to me) Like, you can algorithmically train a model to play a very simple game, or train a model to do some very bad image splicing, but none of this is anywhere close to "real" consciousness.
