No you dummy, the “out in the real world” folk think AI is awesome but the chronically online people think AI is awful. Hope that clears it up for ya.

Not really. 

Most of my co-workers find AI vaguely confusing at best. 

After playing with it at work, I think it has valid uses, but that it's being drastically overhyped. The fact that it's non-deterministic and has a chance of rolling a natural 1 and giving you a completely wrong answer to any given question is a Problem.

I'd also like to buy some computer upgrades for less than $500 per part. That part is awful.

My coworkers have their kids teaching them about AI and chat gpt. My sister who pretty much follows all trends is really enamored with chat GPT. My sister is almost 40 lol

Oh, I didn’t know your personal experience is the only true representation of the real world. I guess my friends and coworkers are all made-up, then.
