Call it AI, call it Super Intelligence, only 2% of consumers are buying it

The White House Just Renamed AI… and Almost Nobody Cares

The thing is, the White House pulled nearly every major tech CEO into one room — Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei — to sign what Trump called a “morally binding” AI safety pledge. Then they rebranded the entire field as “super intelligence.” No joke. If you’ve ever had to explain to a friend at a bar where What is AI actually fits in the tech stack, well… the government just made that conversation way harder.

Meanwhile, Meta and OpenAI are slapping friendlier faces on their AI Models, trying to make the whole thing feel warm instead of cold and corporate. You know, like a chatbot that actually talks back to you like a dude would. But here’s the kicker, man: only 2% of consumers are actually pulling money out and buying in. Serious? Yeah. Big time.

That gap between the hype machine and the real wallet is kinda brutal. The heavy dollar is still flowing through enterprise contracts, not your average app store download. And if you’ve been tracking how AI Tokens get priced out for everyday users, honestly, that explains a ton. The consumer side is stuck in wait-and-see mode while the B2B side keeps printing cash.

  • Why it matters: That 2% consumer adoption number is a serious warning shot for any startup building a B2C AI product and hoping retail customers will bail them out.
  • Why it matters: The “super intelligence” rebrand is less about the science and way more about optics heading into a hot IPO window. Real talk: it’s a branding play dressed up as policy.
  • Why it matters: Enterprise is still the entire cash engine. Next funding rounds, valuation models, and IPO narratives are gonna keep orbiting B2B playbooks until the consumer gap closes.
