In this YouTube video, Andy Neary argues that the current wave of AI applications is increasingly resembling "snake oil"—promising but fundamentally flawed solutions. He emphasizes that many AI-generated products look impressive at first glance, yet when subjected to expert scrutiny they reveal factual inaccuracies, misunderstandings of core principles, and a lack of readiness for real-world deployment. The speaker highlights a systemic gap between prototype concepts and production‑grade, reliable AI systems, warning that hype is outpacing genuine, vetted progress.

AI has become a snake oil. It is so easy for someone to create something that looks like it'll do something, but the second you throw an expert to review what it's done, it's like, well, wait a minute. No, this is, this is not right. This is not how this is taught. This is factually incorrect. Too often people create something with AI that's a good test. It's a good theory. It's a good concept, but they don't know how to make it ready for the real world.
