Of course there's a room for non-AI, or even non-technical products. AI is a fun toy, and might make a lot of sense in some places, but don't believe that the hype surrounding AI reflects reality. You're seeing AI mentioned everywhere, so that must mean life as we know it suddenly fundamentally changed and everything is different for almost everybody, right? The funny thing about hype to remember is that this is the media's business model. Scare and outrage people, find the news stories that get lots of attention and clicks, and blast it into public consciousness until something comes along that's even more profitable. AI works as "The Current Thing" because stories like Terminator and others are very far ingrained into the public consciousness, and the current weak economy makes people scared when they see that they could be replaced by a robot. I bet media organizations are getting a lot of traffic blasting AI stories out there and this is affecting everybody right now.
