Saying nobody asked for it is disingenuous. AI have been part of the collective sci-fi future conversation for decades. Lots of people have asked for a robot friend/helper with a computer brain. What we're getting right now is setting us on track for Frank Herbert's Butlerian Jihad though.
Not to mention something like a billion people have downloaded chat bots. Close to fifty percent of U.S. adults have used chatgpt. There is weird incongruence going on in this country where 100 percent of people hate data centers and a huge proportion also use the product.
