People expect AI to be default feature. Image search was once what was "AI". Photo recognition was once what was "AI". Voice recognition was once what was "AI". These all fall under the field of AI/ML. It's until the next state of the art comes along. Then it's no longer "AI" but a standard feature.
I have no idea why this phenomenon is but that's the way it's been. When the field of AI/ML makes its leap to the next frontier. The current "AI" which is LLMs will longer be "AI" but a standard feature.
Maybe because fictional media as set the goalpost at AGI. So nobody is expecting to be buying "AI" hardware until they are buying an AGI machine that is a conscious cybernetic lifeform. Otherwise practical AI as we know it is assumed to be just another software package that runs on any computer.
you know you could just write your own posts, right? it’s free! you don’t need to regurgitate the marketing that’s being pushed by all these vendors. they already have paid marketers to push the bilge
people expect a Cylon level level of AI intelligence or skynet, both are quite similar fictional concepts. funny thing in the cylons case, it was based of the brainwaves of a human girl, that was replicated into robots, which developed thier own AI/conscieness overtime.
