I do hate all the ai stuff and wish there wasn't any of that bullshit in my visible spectrum but none of these articles you've linked support the claim of "people don't use AI". Are they concerned about AI? That's for sure. Do they use it anyway? Apparently so!

The only article that maybe supports the claim is located behind a paywall and the headline reads that people don't want AI in their hardware/appliances, nothing about software.

People love the path of least resistance, that's how we've always worked, and tools that summarise, translate or otherwise will help us navigate this ad-ridden content-overloaded webscape will see use, at least until something changes about this money-driven content creation scene that is today's internet (which probably won't happen, yes, because of ~~AI~~ LLMs)

the reason it's so hard to find studies on whether people want it or not is because that's not a question being asked. the only ones that did were duckduckgo and those answers were obviously self-selected. i cant remember which of the four articles it was now but one of them actually gives a number on how many actually want to use it and it lands somewhere around 35%.
