Comment on If AI was going to advance exponentially I'd of expected it to take off by now.

What do you consider having “taken off”?
It’s been integrated with just about everything or is in the works. A lot of people still don’t like it, but that’s not an unusual phase of tech adoption.
From where I sit I’m seeing it everywhere I look compared to last year or the year before where pretty much only the early adopters were actually using it.

What do you mean when you say AI has been integrated with everything? Very broad statement that’s obviously not literally true.

True, I tried to qualify it with just about or on the way.
From the perspective of my desk, my core business apps have AI auto suggest in key fields (software IDEs, ad buying tools, marketing content preparation such as Canva). My Whatsapp and Facebook messenger apps now have an “Ask meta AI” feature front and center. Making a post on Instagram, it asks if I want AI assistance to write the caption.
I use an app to track my sleeping rhythm and it has an AI sleep analysis feature built in. The photo gallery on my phone includes AI photo editing like background removal, editing things out (or in).
That’s what I mean when I say it’s in just about everything, at least relative to where we were just a short bit of time ago.
You’re definitely right that it’s not literally in everything.

To be fair, smart background removal was a feature from Picasa over a decade ago. We just didn’t call everything “AI” to make shareholders happy.
