Single data point; no, I don't. I preferred the pre-AI world. It makes me sad that we'll never see it again.

For what? There are some things I want AI for because it does it well. There are some things I don't want AI for because it just makes a mess (hallucinations). Maybe the next AI will be different and we will have the conversation again.

I guess it should be said, of everyone who wants AI, they don't want to pay the expense for it to the level they want to use it.

No.

But people want what AI does for them. It's a tragedy of the commons situation.
