@hamatti your experience is quite similar to a study of 1,000 consumers' response to adding "AI" on products: https://www.fastcompany.com/91165839/ai-artificial-intelligence-product-name-description-hurts-sales

@benjaoming I'm also really happy this is happening and people are getting fed up with the AI hype bullshit. @hamatti @benjaoming from what I can see, most managers and marketing people have no clue of statistics and epistemology. None. Zero. Most consumers are not managers or marketing people, and they quickly understand that products got worse, not better, by applying buzzword technology. @benjaoming @hamatti To your point, I was buying a new laptop for myself and faced with having to buy a windows machine with Copilot built into the OS, I switched to a Mac for the first time in 20 years. Shame Apple has plans to do the same, but for now I'm safe from that BS. @msftnews @dawnnafus, as I'd replace the OS with something Linux-based, the laptop's hardware is what matters: adequately supported, no proprietary drivers needed, that kind of thing. |
@benjaoming That article actually sparked my toot :D
