AI is absolutely going to be transformative but a lot of the hate right now isn't the technology itself but the way companies are jumping on it and forcing it down the throats of people who don't want it, in a way that worsens their customer experience.

Exactly.

We did the same shit with mobile apps in 2009 - there was a mobile app - that no one wanted - being pushed hard - for every imaginable purpose.

I do still use mobile apps.

But I don't have a dedicated mobile app installed for buying socks for my pets.

AI, today, is burdened with the same shit. It'll calm down, after failing to deliver the vast majority of what is currently being promised.
