“Study Finds Consumers Are Actively Turned Off by Products That Use AI”

Like I've been saying, we don't need the term "slop". Consumers have decided that "AI" in its entirety is bullshit. And, honestly, they’re right.

This doesn’t come as a surprise to most, but it definitely is surprising to many managers and consultants, but generative models—what’s being marketed as ‘AI’—are contraindications of quality and value
That is, anything those models do well is likely bullshit, so doing it more and better will make the product worse
The tasks and features generative models excel at were almost always bad ideas to begin with, and anything labelled as “AI” will have more of it

@bjn @mawhrin @baldur I've overheard kid telling his friend "ugh, let's not try this game, it has an AI-generated cover page". 😄
His friend was like "so what, what are you on about", so they tried the game anyway. Ten minutes later: "See? Told you it would be garbage. Always with these lazy, mass-producing game creators that won't even make their own cover page."

@baldur @mawhrin My 15 year old read your toot over my shoulder and her reaction was “Well yeah.” with a shrug and an eyeroll like it was the most obvious thing ever that AI isn’t all that. Even teens can see through of the hype.

@clacke @baldur @mawhrin @bjn Hah! Yeah this bubble is bursting...

@baldur Let me make it clear that when used properly, AI can make things easier and more productive.
The current fad, bubble, or whatever you call it has a bunch of folks taking an AI that is still at the toy stage and trying to make it fit everything.
It reminds me of the Caffeine Free 7UP ads a few years back, which today would be replaced by Gluten Free 7UP or Lactose Free 7UP.
Product developers view AI as a sales tool and add to things that have no business having it.
