A recent ZDNET/Aberdeen survey reveals a significant gap between vendor enthusiasm for AI assistants and consumer interest, with 71% of American adults unwilling to pay for AI features. The survey indicates that older demographics display even less enthusiasm, particularly those aged 55 and over. Task management assistants were found to be the least desired feature, with 64% of users opposed to them. Alarmingly, 31% of respondents would stop using a product with unavoidable AI features, indicating potential customer loss due to enforced AI functionalities.
The survey reveals a distinct disconnect between AI assistant features promoted by vendors and the actual interest of users, with 71% unwilling to pay extra for them.
Despite the prevalence of AI discourse, only a minority of Americans, at 16%, from the Gen Z demographic, show willingness to pay for AI assistant features.
