A related survey by Parks Associates, also cited by The Wall Street Journal, found that 58% of the 4,000 American respondents said the presence of the term “AI” made no difference in their buying decision. More notably, 24% said it actually made them less likely to buy the product, while only 18% said it helped.
Even among the most tech-savvy generations, enthusiasm for AI branding is modest. The Parks survey found that only about a quarter of consumers aged 18 to 44 felt positively influenced by AI marketing. Older consumers were even more wary—about a third of seniors outright rejected products marketed with AI terminology.
