Yep. That's exactly why I tend to never discuss "AI" with people who don't have to actually have a PhD in the domain, or at least a degree in CS. It's nothing against them specifically, it's only that they are dangerously repeating what they heard during marketing presentations with no ability to criticize it and, in such cases, it can be quite dangerous.
TL;DR: people who could benefit from it don't need it, people who would shouldn't.
100% agree with that tldr
This is EXACTLY the YouTube woodworkers dilemma...
TONs of YT channels to show people how to do woodwork would normally showcase $50K worth of equipment to show how to make a cutting board.
The thing is, people with access to such equipment, already know how to make a cutting board and are learning nothing from you... on the other hand, newbies who what to know what is this "sanding" thing they have heard, will not benefit from the vid since they do not have those tools, they'd have crappy manual tools at most.
Therefore, those videos are completely useless for learning... at best, they made for good background noise while people eat their lunches in their cubicles
I agree... but beside the point I have access to a dedicated workshop and a tool library https://www.tournevie.be/ which challenges this whole setup. It's relatively unique though, unfortunately, so your example still stands, thanks for sharing.
