    Yesterday, I heard for the first time people outside of the tech echo chamber talking about AI.

    It was my dad asking how to remove Gemini from his phone, as he didn’t want it. Then somebody else asked how to remove Copilot from their TV. That was the entire conversation about GenAI - how to disable it.

    I don’t see how that is equivalent to inventing the internet, as AI founders claim they have.

      @GossiTheDog sounds like the 40% of GDP bubble popping.

        Best way to keep new AI off your tech equipment is to buy older tech equipment second hand!

          @GossiTheDog Teenage person hated liquid glass but has learned to live with it. Turned off Apple Intelligence immediately. (Apple always does this - "upgrade for the shiny thing, so we can backdoor the ugly thing")

            @GossiTheDog Outside the tech bubble there seem to be three groups of people.

            • business types (even non-tech) who are very enthusiastic for it, and how "it's the future", the next industrial revolution, etc. When you ask them, they've not really used it for anything, but read an article in the FT or The Economist, or something.

            • people who've actually used it who think it's irritating and useless.

            • people completely oblivious to it.

              @GossiTheDog An elderly friend of mine mentioned a few months ago how a relative of theirs was *really* disappointed in that someone had used AI. (Some details withheld for privacy reasons.)

              Said relative previously was in favor of generative AI.

              I get the distinct feeling that it's starting to happen.
