Personally, I explicitly want "not AI"

I'm going to be a curmudgeon that is going out of my way to avoid it as much as I possibly can

I think its a very specific tech/HN bias.

I observe the complete opposite with some of my non-tech friends.

While we are sharing anecdotes and personal opinion:

I think most people don't care too much if its "AI" or not, they just want their problems solved...

Most of my nontechnical friends are either AI neutral, or have a negative AI sentiment. I don’t actually know anybody nontechnical that is enthusiastic about AI.

It's honestly baffling how much the technical crowd has swallowed the AI hype. You would think we would be the ones who know better, but nope
