researchers conducted experimental surveys with more than 1,000 adults in the U.S. to evaluate the relationship between AI disclosure and consumer behavior

The findings consistently showed products described as using artificial intelligence were less popular

“When AI is mentioned, it tends to lower emotional trust, which in turn decreases purchase intentions,”

    Well duh. Stupid people are scared of the phrase, and clever people are annoyed by it. That just leaves the Belgians

  • Yeah, I also never buy products that would work perfectly fine with a local network but that somehow require a connection to remote servers and whatnot.

    Beside, most of these Ai labels are just ol’ plain algorithms lol

    AI in the product name or description makes sure that there is not a single chance I buy it.

    It makes filtering products and companies easier

    I was on Amazon the other day buying a replacement light.

    A little banner on the item description advertised the new 2024 model. It has “ai integration” of some sort. Same price. I actively chose the older model. I can’t be the only one who thinks like this.

      I can’t be the only one who thinks like this.

      I read an article recently that said this is true. Will try to find it.

    I honestly see thing touting AI to be an absolute gimmick, and beyond untrustworthy. So this definitely tracks. It’s been shown that AI isn’t at a level where using it for anything isn’t beneficial, in fact it’s the contrary. Marketers think that folks will see AI as making all things better, but if google’s recent implementation is any indicator, it’s something to steer clear of for the foreseeable future.

      Maybe you’re thinking of something more specific than me, but I don’t think that’s the case. What is being called AI is a broad field.

      I think what Opus was able to implement for high packet-loss voice transmission is exceptional.

      I also find Visual Studio in-line-inline-completions to be very useful.

      That’s far from the typical Chatbots and whatnot though. Which often suck.

    But it increases investors likelihood to invest… That is all that really matters these days.
