“Study Finds Consumers Are Actively Turned Off by Products That Use AI”

> When AI is mentioned, it tends to lower emotional trust, which in turn decreases purchase intentions
Like I've been saying, we don't need the term "slop". Consumers have decided that "AI" in its entirety is bullshit. And, honestly, they’re right.
@bjn @mawhrin @baldur I've overheard kid telling his friend "ugh, let's not try this game, it has an AI-generated cover page". 
His friend was like "so what, what are you on about", so they tried the game anyway. Ten minutes later: "See? Told you it would be garbage. Always with these lazy, mass-producing game creators that won't even make their own cover page."
I suspect it's easy for teens to see through the hype because it isn't aimed at them. This is a grift aimed directly at investors, VCs and executives: at the millionaire and billionaire classes, basically. Those who don't use the service but who do reap the monetary rewards of it being done cheaply and badly are the people being grifted. The rest of us are just collateral damage.
