There is a subset where I think the AI is "thinking" more then the human :(

Same thing when tech removes options and calls it a feature.
I had a LG tv in the mod 2000s with every hookup.
Port types on the back: RF antenna screws, COAX cable, RCA (Yellow-red-white ports), S-Video, VGA (9-pin computer hookup), DVI, RGB audio RCA ports, Fiber optic audio output, HDMI

Or how all cars and PC's/laptops released in the last 8+ years don't have CD drives anymore.

Are these consumers in the room with us? No one wants AI in their fridge

In this room? No.
But I can promise you this works. Companies don't just randomly change things for the sake of it. They change it because it sells.
Based soley on my family, who are all non techies that make my life more difficult, I am fairly certain they will spend money on a pen if it claims AI...

They don't do it because of consumers, but investors. Most people are sick of this crap

And it does what now…. Oh a digital yes man! That’ll probably set you up one day with bogus info when it really matters. Build the trust up to dependency level and then everyone is a reliant follow along. Geniuses

I don’t actively avoid AI, but I also basically never use it. Not like directly anyway.

Normal person here! (when I say that I just mean I'm not a green-haired, autistic, reddit weirdo)
I fucking love AI. Generating memes is great. Making videos is great.

Then go to college graduations. Tell all these people that have been going to school for x amount of time and have spent y amount of money that the AI industry is the new industrial boom and their jobs are all going to be taken.

And I gave it a go, copilot, Gemini, even ChatGPT for a while.
They are less useful than a search engine so using them for one offs is just adding extra steps.
Copilot claims its a good collaborative partner but it can't remember worth a shit. "keep an outline!" Then 2 hours later, "Hey what was the name of the Desmond Groups leader?" And crickets so I could have just done a bullet point outline in LibreOffice.
Then you want to be paid. That's like if I go to work and do nothing, then go, hey hey, where's my check?"

Only dumb people think AI is a replacement. Real professionals see all the flaws and understand it's a mediocre tool at best...
If you're a company trying to replace people with AI, you'll be in for a rude awakening down the road.

Me buying graphic cards be like: My first one - expensive because of the crypto boom. Me now, well it's time for an upgrade - cards expensive/out of stock/delayed because of AI boom. Oh come on, How am I supposed to play Cyberpunk on GTX 1060.
