For me personally, when I see "AI" suddenly popping up on something I am subscribed to, 8/10 times, there is some sort of chatbot suddenly added there; nothing ground breaking, nothing cool(that didn't exist before), just a random chatbot!
Secondly, I am slightly burntout looking at all the "BlockChain", "distributed", "Crypto" for like last decade and now suddenly the same products(and products from same people) did a swap of "crypto" or "blockChain" with "AI". Needless to say, my mind is jaded from all those scammy blockchain peedlers that when I see an "AI" (e.g. TodoAI, like wtf? I just want to add some text and dates and want to check those when am done or just show me a notification if I forgot..), I just feel like someone is trying to scam me.
Also, I noticed that some products suddenly hiked the price after adding the "AI" in their featureset, which wouldn't feel scammy(because inflation happened), but if I see some crappification of the product post AI, it just leaves a bad taste that next time I see anything with "AI" as feature, I assume it is also some crap. I know, don't judge a book by fathers and children must not be judged by deeds/sins of their fathers but what can I say.
Also, most of the products are clearly proxying stuff to ChatGPT with a system prompt, you can actually sense it, if you have used OpenAI apis. Which causes me extra pain, because c'mon, you are selling me a proxy with a prompt and charging me like $5.99/month!
