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)
Strawberries, tomatoes and pineapples are all sweet/sour, with the difference being the amount of one taste over another. I think it's within reason to try to substitute between them and check how it influences the result.
Many times I've tried corn, pepper or green peas on pizza, all of them being sweet-tasting on their own so a strawberry isn't really that far going, in my opinion.
The only thing I'm wondering about is the texture. I don't know if a hot (probably even soft? Dunno) strawberry would be noticeable on a pizza and if so, would it be off-putting.
