      is it 5000 consistent users or is it 5000 randos that on any given day tries turning it on to see if it was all in their head and actually these devices were kinda useful. then they don’t use it again because no actually, it really is that bad

      There’s a lot of variation in human intelligence…

      So no matter how shit an “ai” is, there’s some amount of people who feel like it’s impressively smart.

        I can see that happening. There was a huge hype, both for LLMs, in general, and for “smart” digital assistants. Both of these hypes were capitalize on very strongly by expert marketers, who created a device that was supposed to be both (but was neither).
