[I literally had this thought in the shower this morning so please don’t gatekeep me lol.]
If AI was something everyone wanted or needed, it wouldn’t be constantly shoved your face by every product. People would just use it.
Imagine if printers were new and every piece of software was like “Hey, I can put this on paper for you” every time you typed a word. That would be insane. Printing is a need, and when you need to print, you just print.
I absolutely hate seeing AI crammed into everything.
However, i don’t understand your logic.
If AI was in fact useful, it would be crammed into everything because everyone would want it.
So while AI is undoubtedly shit, its presence in everything is not evidence of that.
If I owned a gold mine filled with easily accessible actual gold veins, I would not spend my days telling others about it and selling them shovels.
That’s not really analogous.
If AI could be added to a product and actually improve that product, then you would need to add AI to products to improve the products.
You wouldn’t leave your gold in your mine thinking about how much it might be worth.
