I saw an advert on the side of a truck the other day for an AI enhanced mattress, of all things!

I think AI is a great tool if used properly. However, it should be a background tool. The second you advertise it to the end consumer, it's going to be dogshit.
If someone asks me to build a sort-function for their table, I'm not gonna write an email: "Yes and I actually used radix sort for the table contents which makes it extremely fast and performant!!!". I'm writing: "Done".
The end consumer doesn't give a shit how it works, as long as it works.
But the companies must posture that their on the cutting edge! Even if they only put the letters "AI" on the box of a rice cooker without changing the rice cooker
When it comes to the marketing teams in such companies, I wonder what the ratio is between true believers and "this is stupid but if it spikes the numbers next quarter that will benefit me.”
One of the leading sources of enshitification.
"AI" isn't ready for any type of general consumer market and that's painfully obvious to anyone even remotely aware of how it's developing, including investors.
...but the cost benefit analysis on being first-to-market with anything even remotely close to the universal applicability of AI is so absolutely insanely on the "benefit" side that it's essentially worth any conceivable risk, because the benefit if you get it right is essentially infinite.
It won't ever stop
I hate what AI has become and is being used for, i strongly believe that it could have been used way more ethically, solid example being Perplexity, it shows you the sources being used at the top, being the first thing you see when it give a response. The opposite of this is everything else. Even Gemini, despite it being rather useful in day to day life when I need a quick answer to something when I'm not in the position to hold my phone, like driving, doing dishes, or yard work with my ear buds in
I get what you mean, but people might read this and think Perplexity is an ethical company.

Forcing AI into everything maximizes efficiency, automates repetitive tasks, and unlocks insights from vast data sets that humans can't process as effectively. It enhances personalization in services, driving innovation and improving user experiences across industries. However, thoughtful integration is critical to avoid ethical pitfalls, maintain human oversight, and ensure meaningful, responsible use of AI.
Its not really targeting the consumers here, its just to impress investors with it
The Imperium of Man got this right.
