AI is basically ubiquitous in all corporate work but reddit is convinced AI is useless, how do those 2 things co-exists?
A Reddit user observes a perceived dichotomy between the widespread corporate adoption of AI in North America and the platform's general sentiment that AI is useless. The user notes that in many corporate jobs, AI is integral to daily tasks, with employees often having paid accounts and expected to produce AI-assisted output. This leads to confusion about how these two contrasting realities can coexist.

I'm very curious how these 2 things can co-exists. How does this situation come about? If you are working at all in any corporate job (at least here in north america), AI is basically half of anyone's job. Everyone already has a paid account and most of your output is expected to be AI assisted.
However, most of reddit (take this thread for example) https://reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1wt6mcm/_/pcrh12q/?context=1 is hard convinced that AI is useless and is a complete waste of time/resources.
I'm really struggling to understand how can this happen? It's like there is a dual reality?
