You forgot the part where average consumers kind of hate AI and won't buy this or use that feature because of its AI.

I'm not sure about that. The "normies" around me love AI. My mother and mother-in-law drive me crazy when I ask for advice and they copy the answer directly from ChatGPT. Not to mention the stupid images generated by AI.

  In my experience, old normies love AI, young normies do not.

    My parents hate AI, as do my nieces and nephews. It's not an age thing. It seems to be an experience thing. If AI is perceived to have ruined something you like, or otherwise negatively impacted your life, you're going to hate it.

      The conclusion here is that we’re all someone else’s normie I guess.

  I’m not sure what you mean by “normies” - non technical people? I don’t know a single person who /loves/ AI. I know some that speculate about potential benefits. I know some that use it begrudgingly. Some that have some anecdotes of it being useful but mostly couched in dread. Almost universal is the feeling that it is being forced on them in ways they do not want. Who loves it?

    I think it is hard to generalise like this. There's a lot of people in the world and we each only know a very small slice of them. I happen to know several people who love AI, I don't feel like have a good grasp of the where the overall sentiment is.

    There's stuff I think if cool but is not really regarded as AI any more like language translation and I find the google lens thing in Chrome very handy - does ocr, finds stuff in images etc. Maybe people will like more the stuff that doesn't get called AI but just does useful things?

  > I'm not sure about that. The "normies" around me love AI Really? Because every "normie" I know complains to me about how much they hate AI. Lots of the the complaints center around it being forced on users, how all information on the web is AI generated anymore, thus can't be trusted, broader issues around how it makes society much less stable (bots, misinformation, fakeporn, and more recently, breaking security). And, of course, those whose jobs are actively being replaced by AI really hate it. The data centers going up locally are likely to be another avenue for complaints.

I think once the hype dies down, and things start to normalize, the hate will fade into the background. Instead of "AI", we'll just get "apps with features" again.

The average Redditor that performatively hates AI sure. But outside of the chronically online bubble, the average person, in my experience, does not hate AI

  Surveys show otherwise. As does the viral video of that lady giving the AI-booster commencement speech and getting booed.

    How confident are you that those surveys portray the “average” person? ChatGPT was the fastest adopted app… ever.

        what surveys
      - u_fucking_dork 5mo ago
        Why? I clearly presented my comment as a personal opinion. These are formed based on my personal experiences among my friends and family, and at work. At work Claude Desktop is overwhelmingly popular, people love it. Even our internal chatgpt + RAG clone is used by over 90% of desk workers monthly and has a great net promoter score. The only place is see all the AI hate and backlash is on social media and discord. You, on the other hand, are vaguely alluding to “surveys” with no context or detail. How many? How rigorous? Who did them? Why no links?

My average tech friend kind of hates AI. My average "non-tech" friend or acquaintance? Absolutely loves it and is using it daily. So, not my experience AT ALL.
