The article is light on details but it's important to differentiate between two kinds of AI.
1) Deeply integrated into the product. This is what we've mostly seen to date. Google Search, Facebook's feed, Amazon results, etc. I can see how people are getting tired of these applications of AI. My wife asked me how she can search for something without it following her around the Internet. I said, "you can't really".
2) AI as the product. This new set of AI use cases feel quite different (for now, read on). Users intentionally interact knowing and wanting the AI related value they receive. As all novel products, this type of AI will also get so commercialized that it's not in the business of solving the user's needs. At least not as it's first priority. And people will grow tired of it too.
Rinse, repeat.
- JustLurking2022 3y agoI think you have it backwards - most people don't know what AI as a product really accomplishes. They're probably more accepting of products that use AI when it enhances an experience they already understand and want.
- Gigachad 3y agoIt’s the exact opposite in my experience. Google photos automatically sorting and searching my photos is awesome. I love that convenience. AI generated slop used to create SEO spam, adverts, and usually incorrect answers is what I and many have become tired of. AI tech is best when it’s invisible. No one cares if their AirPods are using AI tech for advanced audio processing, they just care that the product seems to work better than the others. What people are sick of is AI support chatbots that are useless, AI generated spam, fake political images, and tech companies trying to tell you that their useless AI product is going to change the world.
