Good luck now selling those products, given the negative sentiment around products advertised as having “AI”.
Smartphones were a joke until the iPhone. There will be some resistance, but someone will crack the code to make it easily acceptable and then the race is away with the AI products
I do think that some technologies currently being marketed as AI might eventually become features of popularly used products. However:
- I don’t think that they’ll come from the so-called “AI companies”. As someone in HN commented the idea of an “AI company” is as ridiculous as a “Python company”.
- I don’t think that they’ll be marketed as AI, but as something else.
As such I partially agree with your conclusion (although I’m not too eager to utter certainty on future events). The reasoning that you used to back it up (analogy with smartphones) is bad though, due to survivorship bias.
Can they build a product that will just go out and make money for me? Because that’s the only thing I really want.
