First thought, but I'd guess also general position when I would randomly hear it today. This is mostly because whenever I hear AI, people most often are talking about the US proprietary stuff that all those politicians are trying to be friends with. With the exception of Google because they own the entire chain, and xAI because you should never bet against Elon, I see some heavy hype in that segment of AI, so this is what I immediately think of when someone utters that combination of words.
However, if we would be talking about the whole range of AI, especially the flavors that come without overlords and shady marketing, I'm actually bullish, and I would be leaning towards abundance, but not really of consumer products, but possibilities.
A year ago, the latter would be my first thought, but the utter nonsense put out by the commercial parties influenced my feelings about the whole.
