Agreed, you can see this from how consumer-facing AI is advertised. It's never something like "I wanted to do X, now I can thanks to AI". It's always "I used AI to generate a cute image to send my son" or "I used AI to write a silly poem about my boss" or something. If it was truly valuable, they'd be showing off how it can solve problems that existed prior to AI being invented, not these fluff tasks that don't respond to people's actual needs or create any value. The only thing that AI can do that people are willing to pay for is cheating on school assignments, but obviously the AI companies don't want to use that in their advertisements.
