I'm in no way an AI hater. It has some very good use cases. But in the commercial world, if you are promoting a product or service, the phrase "AI-powered" translates to "didn't read the room". The majority probably don't see that as a plus? (I could be wrong!)

Boost if you will to get coverage. The results will be interesting if enough people vote.

EDIT: I should have said "hater or lover". But the question was strictly concerning the use of that language in promo and advertising.

I can't help thinking that if the techbros had spent the past decade confining the dicking about with pre-alpha components to an in-house sandbox environment rather than deploying them in live production and telling unhappy consumers they are the problem, if they hadn't employed wholesale theft of intellectual property as a development model then told the owners to suck it up, if they hadn't chosen to inject the new toys into every working tool regardless of effect or utility, if they then hadn't sold the business school grads the idea that all this guff could replace humanity, and if the leading proponents of "AI" — a term so debased, so ill-defined and so catch-all to deserve the quotation marks — weren't so weirdly gung-ho about the demise of humanity then perhaps "AI" wouldn't have the bad press it's got.
