| contents | New technologies create opportunities while displacing others. They enhance life by supporting entertainment, education, and social connectivity but also replace humans in productivity and analytical tasks. Adapting to these shifts requires technical adjustments and social readiness. For digital transformation to succeed, organizations and their workforce must be psychologically prepared. We are entering the era of Generative AI with tools like ChatGPT, Bing AI, and Microsoft Office Copilot. Understanding public sentiment toward these innovations is crucial for refining technology acceptance models and informing market strategies. Using the Gartner Hype Cycle and Kubler-Ross Change Curve, this study suggests that generative AI adoption is a dual-stage process. It follows the phases of technology trigger, peak of expectations, trough of disillusionment, slope of enlightenment, and plateau of productivity, while also reflecting emotional stages like shock, denial, and integration. The study used sentiment and emotion analysis on a large dataset of tweets about generative AI, translating them into scores to track user responses over time. Unlike prior research, which offered a snapshot of sentiment, this study captures the dynamic evolution of attitudes, linking empirical evidence with theoretical frameworks. It shifts the focus from information seekers to content creators. With the release of generative AI tools, there is a significant gap in understanding societal reception and adaptation. Policymakers face uncertainty about guiding markets for these changes. This research validates the applicability of the Gartner Hype Cycle and Kubler-Ross Change Curve to generative AI. It provides insights for businesses in integrating these tools and crafting policies to enhance readiness and resilience. |
