The sentiment disconnect on 'AI' between tech and the public

I took a bit of break from work last week and tried my hardest to get away from the “tech context”. I went on photography exhibits, took walks, and gave clearing my head a good shot.

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced before this big of a sentiment gap between tech – web tech especially – and the public sentiment I hear from the people I know and the media I experience.

Most of the time I hear “AI” mentioned on Icelandic mainstream media or from people I know outside of tech, it’s being used as to describe something as a specific kind of bad. “It’s very AI-like” (“mjög gervigreindarlegt” in Icelandic) has become the talk radio short hand for uninventive, clichéd, and formulaic.
