People savvy to the industry realize it's code for "we're going to invasively violate your privacy for our own ends" while the non-savvy understand it's a buzzword that doesn't mean anything but is probably an excuse to make the product more expensive

For me it's sort of similar to the idea that appliances ought to be "smart." I don't need a screen on my refrigerator that tells me when to buy milk - and I mostly see it as something that will be expensive to fix when it inevitably breaks.

If anything, AI might have a role in internal processes for an organisation. As soon as you make it part of a public facing service, it's like advertising to your customers that you are floundering and just trying whatever fad crosses your desk with no understanding of them or their needs.

Sounds a lot like the "internet of things", which really never made any sense beyond TVs.

Products with AI that work rarely market the AI aspect. It’s more “does task X better/faster/more accurately.”
