> You would expect only people who have a very high opinion of themselves to not feel the need to use AI.

Please explain why my 82 year-old mother-in-law needs to use AI. Is it just so you won't consider her arrogant?

She lived long enough to see this miracle come to fruition and yet she doesn't want to check it out?

Lol, no. We discourage her from using the computer because she's been scammed* so many times. Generally speaking AI is not uniformly perceived as this awe inspiring boon to those of her generation. Often it invokes fear - fear of instability, fear of discrimination, a simple fear of the unknown. These people lived through a lot of scary technological advancements in their day. The last thing they want is another thing they can't understand.

People who don't get this display a lot of ageism.

*- "Microsoft" telling her her computer's been infected and she needs to call this number asap! Luckily a bank teller stopped her before she completed the transaction.
