TechCrunch podcast discusses how AI executives' remarks feel detached from ordinary users

What happened

AI digest

TechCrunch's Equity podcast discussed why tech CEOs' remarks about AI can seem detached from ordinary people. Amanda Silberling argued it is both a marketing problem and a product problem. She cited Bumble's CEO suggesting AI should go on a first date on both people's behalf, and Marissa Mayer imagining her AI coordinating matters with her husband's AI, and said the industry is gradually optimising away basic human interaction.
