Companies may unintentionally hurt their sales by including the words “artificial intelligence” when describing their offerings that use the technology, according to a study led by WSU researchers.

researchers conducted experimental surveys with more than 1,000 adults in the U.S. to evaluate the relationship between AI disclosure and consumer behavior

The findings consistently showed products described as using artificial intelligence were less popular

    Using AI in the marketing is a sign you don’t have much else to show for.

    To me it’s a sign that you have spyware included, will depend on a perfect network infrastructure, and will stop working in 2 years.

    But my guess is that for most people it’s a sign the product is made by some psychopath-like company like Facebook.
