AI has a huge branding problem on HN but I haven’t found that to be true outside of tech.

Many people are very eager to see how AI can improve their lives.

I’m building a product for accountants that uses AI, initially I avoided using AI as a part of marketing copy. Turns out, people are much more interested when I tell them it uses AI behind the scenes.

It actually varies by segment. The least technical people are enthusiastic about AI. The moderately technical (e.g tech hobbyists, artists and power users) are repulsed. The segment of tech professionals are themselves divided, but I think based on how much they like/hate their career as programmers. Either way, what’s very different about this AI bubble is that the early adopters are predominantly the least technical users. This is a notable inversion of the typical adoption curve.
