Yeah, I wonder if the previous ~2 years of bizarre and overconfident hallucinations and 6 thumbed stock photo models has meant that AI adoption might actually slow down.

Other than the zealots who hate the concept of it in its entirety (fair point, but far from the majority experience), most people will have just seen it fail somehow.

I think probably most people have tried it, ended up with it confidently telling them a restaurant is open when it's been closed for months, or it drew them a 5 legged dog, or produced a summary of their emails telling them that grandma died, and decided that AI is trash.

But it's actually quite effective now, it can actually do all the things it was pretending to do 18 months ago.
