> Nobody said "you have to buy an iPhone NOW, because in 3 years the connectivity will be good". When Steve Jobs got on that stage to show it off, he didn't ask you to trust his vision. I don't think anyone is telling consumers that they need to use AI now, either, unless it actually benefits them (and judging by the usage of ChatGPT, apparently many users do find it useful). The people promising the future of AI are usually startups pitching to investors, or companies putting resources into AI, etc.

> I don't think anyone is telling consumers that they need to use AI now I dont understand how you could say that. The very article we are discussing here is a followup to a marketing op-ed about how AI "is uniquely capable" of improving your health, yet the best answer they can provide to serious question about privacy is "maybe the laws should change". They are directly asking the consumers to vote to change laws in a way that benefits their product, before they even know if it's an app.
