Paco Hope #resist@feld I’m not sure on that. “Silence implies consent” is also a problematic approach. The fact that someone is louder than average doesn’t necessarily mean that their opinion deviates from the majority, even if the majority are less outspoken.
Climate change, for example. The vast majority of people support environmental regulations, decreased pollution, etc. but only a tiny minority vigorously advocate for those things. That tiny, loud minority is in alignment with the majority.
Back to AI, plenty of studies have been done that showed little to no enthusiasm from end users for AI. I can’t name a single product/service that offers an AI-enhanced version at a higher price than a non-AI version, and then sells more of the AI-enhanced version than the non-AI version. We know that the AI-enhanced products cost more to deliver because AI is expensive. And yet no business is able to leverage the added value of AI to raise its prices to cover the increased cost of using AI.
My thesis: The value proposition for AI is for the shareholders, not the end users of a product or service. Those shareholders are the problematic vocal minority who put their own interests ahead of the interests of the majority. @nixCraft
