I don't think it's just the Brits...

I've met very few people in the US with more than a passing interest in AI and everyone in my friends and family circle has left X/Twitter. #ven the hardcore conservative folks.

Never really used Twitter or any of those self-centered social media sites, I just can't grasp the concept of them. I use some LLMs locally, fun tools / toys, but I know it's not the big overhyped "AI" revolution that big corpos tried to sell it as. Actually makes me laugh a little with how much investments they made into it, and it potentially not paying out as they expected.

I’m from the us and the most I see “AI” for is a cool toy for maybe a few months, don’t use it for a while, rinse and repeat

BUT PLEASE I DONT NEED AN AI POWERED TOASTER FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY

also reminds me of a meme: Two sets of code side by side and identical with the caption of “2010: powered by our algorithm | 2020: powered by our AI”

Find "Brits", replace with "People"

The way this article reports about these things makes it seem like we should all be disappointed in the British. I mean, we should definitely all be disappointed in the British for sure but not because of their lack of adoption of X and AI! 🤣

Brit: ChatGPT, if I Ieave X, will Europe let us back in again?
ChatGPT: No.

Brit: I'm not interested in AI.

As a Brit, came here for say that, for once, we appear to be doing the right thing.

As an English speaking person: "came here to say" 😁
