AI is like electricity. It may be the “product” you think you are selling. But it isn’t the product people are buying.
People are buying what these things facilitate (lights, tvs, air conditioning, etc in the case of electricity)
I think the AI folk have generally done a terrible job of connecting the dots to show people what they are actually getting.
It’s worth noting that some things mentioned above already existed before electricity. So people needed to be shown that electric light is in almost all ways better, cheaper, more convenient than existing alternatives.
If what they are getting is "not much, plus a side order of hallucination", then connecting the dots is exactly what they DON'T want to do.

Confusion and fear are much better for stock prices than clarity
