AI hype continues despite mixed consumer enthusiasm and technical challenges, with companies pushing AI integration hoping to find profitable uses. While some users are skeptical or hostile toward AI in products, the industry keeps fueling expectations with constant announcements and massive investments.

Why it matters: Consumer ambivalence and technical setbacks contrast sharply with relentless corporate AI promotion and investment.

The big picture: AI buzz is driven by hype cycles, investor funding, fear of missing out, and broad labeling of many technologies as "AI."

The stakes: Without clear product-market fit or real productivity gains, the AI bubble risks bursting like previous tech fads.

Commenters say: Many highlight that significant user demand exists, especially in business use, and that AI enthusiasm varies widely across different groups.
