To be honest, I don't think "regular people" are excited, I do not think they care. A lot of researchers and even more grifters, hucksters, and cheats are rushing in, thinking they can make a quick buck, scam a few people, may be lay off some of their valuable employees, all because they hardly understand the technology. Just like crypto, a lot of people are rushing in, mostly unsavory types. I honestly like old machines. It's why the C64 is so great, you can really understand mostly everything, there are no surprises. The fact is that computers (phones really) have become that less and less and people think AI bots can make them even less so, even though really, these AI tools look right now to be even worse than people in their unpredictability yet lack of essential human character. As difficult as people are, there is value in interacting with them. I'm not sure yet AI provides that.
