I guarantee this article was written in conjunction with the comms team at OpenAI. Just more propaganda to try to convince people that AI is popular and generate FOMO.
AI has important uses, but for capitalists its only use is to make them more money at your expense.
I don't know, it has the opposite effect, IMO.
It just makes them seem obnoxious, since the example they chose was a parent who was distracted with the computer open in the changing room while they were supposed to be helping their children with their skates, and literally mentions how the other parents have to navigate around the thing.
You'd be more inclined to think that they're a computer addict who can't put the the thing down for even a moment.
On top of that, the video is basically a recipe to drop the laptop and have to shatter into fine powder, if you're holding it by the corner like that.
That is 100% the vibe I got from this article as well. They're trying to get this in the zeitgeist.
