[I literally had this thought in the shower this morning so please don't gatekeep me lol.]

If AI was something everyone wanted or needed, it wouldn't be constantly shoved your face by every product. People would just use it.

Imagine if printers were new and every piece of software was like "Hey, I can put this on paper for you" every time you typed a word. That would be insane. Printing is a need, and when you need to print, you just print.

a very large amount of people being excited about it.

A very large amount of people are excited by AI. People were excited by pet rocks.

I use DuckDuckGo to find sources, not answers.

DuckDuck is Bing with privacy. When you get a Google AI summary it lists links to read the source.

    The push:excitement ratio was different for the early internet than for ai.

    Using those sources would verify the Google summary. For me, it is an unnecessary step. I can just go read the sources directly and skip the summary since I’ll need to read them anyway to verify the summary.
