It's the tech equivalent of the supermarket sticker that says "NEW!"

my doorbell camera does this. zero "AI" in it, but everything is labelled as "AI."

Even my septuagenarian parents understood this without my intervention, the word has gone around so fast.

I am not sure there has even been a larger gap between the tech/investment class understanding of a product marketing spin and that of normal people. Even crypto remains mysterious for a lot of people, but here *they know*.

Yeah, but this makes the fans all the more strange. Like we all know what's what but they still keep at it, bizarre

Maybe NFT's, but certainly not as widespread in the public mind as AI.

Phase 1: every company wants to tell you that their product uses AI

Phase 2: every company will hide the fact that their product use AI

Phase 3: companies will be mandated to declare presence of AI in their products

We are at phase 1

Valve speed ran to step 3, games have to declare if they used ai on steam

So true. In my $dayjob I often have to vet external software vendors, and the number of times they have a domain like https://blah.ai but their product is, in reality, just "some guff"...

I see "AI" and become certain the device of software is about to a) hand deliver all my data to the manufacturer and b) be impossible to turn off and c) do an inconsistent job at whatever it is I use it for.
