Sixty percent of US consumers say 'AI' in brand messaging is a turnoff

Everything about that analogy is wrong.

Everyone would prefer a nicer handmade chair (if not by the price difference).

Chairs are not comparable to OPs cards; writing on a card costs nothing (but intent, which seems to be in low stock these days).

Finally, factoring in the real operating cost, ongoing capital costs, and environmental/social externalities, the AI chair in your example would cost something like 1000x a handmade chair.

> Everyone would prefer

far from true. I (and many others) prefer cookie cutter things, because I know what to expect, and due to quality control of big companies.

e.g. hotels > airbnb, amazon essentials > etsy hand-knit, Lays chips > Ray's chips
