It's quite common in modern society that people use things they don't particularly like, for a variety of reasons. One is that the society is being structured so that it's difficult to avoid its most toxic parts.

As it relates to AI, it certainly doesn't help that everyone is being told they need to learn AI or risk being eliminated by it.

So your evidence of why this is fake news is a very small anecdotal sample size in presumably an urban area of people doing mundane things with ai? Why should that any more reliable source of information as opposed to my anecdotal observations of plenty of white collar workers having negative sentiments on ai because they think they’re being forced out of livelihoods? Why should I believe you’re not spreading “fake news” because you have vested interests in AI?

People use it; they also understand that the end goal of AI is to automate away the vast majority of white collar jobs and enrich the capital class.
