watching the tide turn (or, more accurately, the undercurrent bubble up) on AI has been interesting

It's interesting that the social reaction started to surface as soon as the companies failed to get more investment and decided to increase prices.

I know it was there the entire time, so what exactly was suppressing the attention towards it? Was it satisfied customers or the companies paying to deplatform the message?

It may have started earlier. This study came out a year ago, showing consumers overwhelmingly were turned off by companies slapping "AI" on products.

| Adverse impacts of revealing the presence of “Artificial Intelligence (AI)” technology in product and service descriptions on purchase intentions: the mediating role of emotional trust and the moderating role of perceived risk

Witness how quickly we went from being awed by Dall-E and Midjourney to saying "looks like AI" as an insult.
