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

“When AI is mentioned, it tends to lower emotional trust, which in turn decreases purchase intentions,”

Their end goal is to force AI on us to a degree that we‘re not even allowed to make our own decisions. Instead the almighty algorithm will decide what we buy and we just have to live with it because they spent a lot of lobbying money to make it legally waterproof. Your complaints won‘t matter even when the algorithm is shit and buys a dolphin dildo that you never wanted. It‘s always right so you can‘t return anything. And yes this is from the sci-fi novel Qualityland, which is becoming more and more reality by the day and I hate it. (The reality, not the book. The book is decent.)

So much sci fi has been written as warnings that the tech bro elites didn't understand were warnings. Elon Musk read Hitchhiker's Guide and his takeaway was that destroying a planet in the name of progress was a good thing. Untold numbers of tech bro elites read William Gibson and their takeaway was that a virtual reality no one fully disconnects from is cool. I'm sure someone in Jeff Bezos' sphere of influence read Qualityland and thought it sounded just great
