Interesting, I've not seen that many educated in technology make that claim that it will never, just that people are surprised that the folks leading this, Microsoft and Google, have a track record of turning their consumer facing products to advertised junk.

I've seen plenty of people making nearly those claims. Barely qualifying things with phrases like "not in my life."

Especially in the arts. Granted, that's dropped dramatically over the last decade since ML started taking off.
