"Nobody Asked for A.I." Is a Stupid Argument

This article challenges the common criticism that AI is unwanted because 'nobody asked for it.' The author argues that throughout history, inventions like penicillin, cars, and electricity were not explicitly requested by the public but emerged in response to existing problems and complaints. He highlights decades of worker dissatisfaction with corporate jobs, poor customer service, lack of healthcare access, and widespread loneliness as implicit demands for solutions like AI. The piece contends that AI addresses these unspoken needs, making the 'nobody asked' argument intellectually lazy. It is a tech-society commentary relevant to AI trends and adoption debates.
