DaleC is on point.
Why the dislike?
Many divers feel that it is unnecessary and expensive. But isn't that the case with many things that we all buy in our lives?
I don't personally feel that AI is of use to me, so I purchase other things (Uwatec bottom timers, a used Predator)
On the other hand, I do think AI is kind of "cool". So there's nothing to really "dislike" about it.
It's a nice feature, and fun to have, so why not get an AI computer?
I don't think it's much different than buying the newest phone, and downloading different apps.
Maybe not necessary, but fun to have, so why not?
My wife is a new diver, and diving with her reminds me that most divers do not care about the things that many of us divers here on Scuba Board care about. (all of the gear ).
She really just wants to go diving and doesn't really care about the details about gear.
But to her, air integration seemed cool....so I bought her an AI computer.
From her perspective, the AI computer is a lot cooler that the Uwatec bottom timer she normally dives with.
I imagine many diver share her view.
As for me and the rest of my Scuba Board/gear head brethren........we are the minority.
I don't dislike AI. It isn't for me; but I can see the appeal.
