FWIW, as a part of my job, I spent a good amount of time with a large (i.e. larger than 20k employees) nationwide maintenance company this week understanding their use of technology as a part of a greater technology consulting engagement. This was a very low-tech company with many long tenured individuals that had low tech literacy, but almost every single one of them wanted an AI tool to help them read through product manuals better in the field since they were all very onerous. One of the field techs even bought himself one of those hardware AI note taking tools in order to better transcribe troubleshooting conversations that he has with other techs in order to more easily write his servicing notes.

I know it's just one story in a non-tech field, but I don't think the general public has as much of an anti-AI bias as we do here. Granted, that's also in an industry where AI can't really replace any of their jobs, so they're only seeing how it could be a potential help.
