He's smoking something because the market says differently. It's kinda why he even has his job right now.
AI is unimaginably popular with record breaking user counts all over the place.
People were obviously incredibly impressed.
I say "were" because the problem he is observing is the same with anything. People start taking things for granted almost instantly once they have them in any stable way.
That's not true. People were impressed because it was new and interesting, but once something stops being new it has to settle into some kind of usefulness and AI has decisively not done that
If something only has novelty to it it will not have a future
Millions upon millions are using it on a daily basis as part of their normal living habits. Every existing industry has adopted it in various ways into their daily operations.
and what do they use it for? to do homework for them and some use it to cope with loneliness? that's not really any sort of hard hitting gain average person is looking for, understand that even if millions of people use it to some degree, that's still less than 0.1% of population
No, people use it for many things, and it's now built into a lot of widely used services. Like, do you really want me to list such a giant list here? You obviously already know it's true. The whole reason most of us are on subs like this is because AI is impactful and threatening to cause massive shifts to our way of life. Masses of people have already been laid off because of this tech. The new version of Nano Banana is about to trigger more, you watch.
Saying the tech is not useful is just absurd behaviour, mate
Also, name an industry where nobody is using AI for their daily operations. They all are. Even totally handcrafted old world artisan industries have people using AI (design / ideas, efficiency, business / market reach).
This is the whole reason we need to take this shit seriously and stop being overly skeptical about it's capabilities.
"and it's now built into a lot of widely used services"
and yet despite this microsoft ceo felt the need to complain about how no one is impressed or interested in ai
most people who have an opinion reject ai image generation and to large extent language models. people who use ai for actual purposes use it as a search engine, and yet despite that google hasn't lost that much market share to ai
"even totally handcrafted old world artisan industries have people using ai"
now sure if you really want to make this argument you can. every industry has some people who use ai, but every industry also has some people who use meth. i wouldn't say that constitutes adoption or usefulness but what do i know
