Companies are going all-in on artificial intelligence right now, investing millions or even billions into the area while slapping the AI initialism on their products, even when doing so seems strange and pointless.
Heavy investment and increasingly powerful hardware tend to mean more expensive products. To discover if people would be willing to pay extra for hardware with AI capabilities, the question was asked on the TechPowerUp forums.
The results show that over 22,000 people, a massive 84% of the overall vote, said no, they would not pay more. More than 2,200 participants said they didn’t know, while just under 2,000 voters said yes.
This. Apple is doing it the right way, avoiding the term AI and instead focusing on what benefits it brings in iOS18. Other companies need to figure out what problem people need to solve and what AI would do to solve it. Instead they’re trying to cram it into everything and people are largely nonplussed about it.
