Normies have a much more realistic take on AI than technical people or semi-technical "power users":

    * They LOVE image-generating AI and AI that messes with their own photos/videos.
    * They will ask ChatGPT, Gemini, etc and just believe the result.
    * They will ask Copilot to help them make a formula in Excel and be happy to be done.

The common theme here is they don't care. To them, AI is just a neat thing. It's not a huge difference in their lives. They don't think about the environmental impact much unless someone tells them it's bad, via a high-quality video stream that itself was vastly worse for the environment than any AI conversation or image generation ever could be.

They will play a game 100% made by AI because their friend said it was fun. They don't care that some AAA publisher lost a sale on their "human made for sure, just trust us :nod:" identical game because the bored person was able to pull of something good enough with little effort (and better design decisions).

They also don't care if some article or book or whatever was written partially or entirely by AI as long as it's good. The AI part just isn't important to them. Not even a little bit!

Its kind of funny how it’s the exact same discussion as we used to have about privacy in the advent of social media. "I’m not worried, I got nothing to hide!" The convenience benefits of Facebook (in the beginning, likely less nowadays) massively outweighed the privacy concerns of the layman or woman.
