Comment on Dell says the quiet part out loud: Consumers don't actually care about AI PCs — "AI probably confuses them more than it helps them"

For me at least, AI reminds me too much of that thrice cursed MS Word paperclip. I did not want it then and I do not want it now.

Also, adding ‘personality’ to pieces of software is cringy at best and downright creepy at worst.

Forget about the personality for a minute. They have a different thing in common. Uselessness. I tried AI for a bunch of general use cases and it almost always fails to satisfy. Either it just can’t do the task in the first place or it makes mistakes that then cost too much time to fix.

There are exceptions and specialized models will have their use but it’s not the Swiss army knife tool AI companies are promising.

  AI hardware is a sales pitch without a clear product. Consumers have no clue why they would want to buy something with AI on it.
  
  For most consumers AI is a webpage that kids cheat on homework or adults attempt to cheat at work with. It makes ugly fake pictures with all sorts of weird errors. Its also the annoying as fuck answering services that you have to yell at 4 or 5 times to get to a real person.
  
  Why would an AI PC be desirable?
