Japan using generative AI less than other countries

It is. It replaces one's own choices with a collective's common "choice", and that is usually substituted with most loud and ambitious people's choice from inside the collective, or the voices that those from outside prefer to hear from it. Bad all around.
Mutual aid and brotherhood are not collectivism. The philosophy that a group of individuals can be regarded as a subject is, possibly without regard for the comprising individuals.
This is incredibly reductionist. Wow.

The irony.

I mean, one look at Japanese work culture should be all demonstration you need for that.
Work culture all over the world regardless of culture is fucked up.

Like most things, there isn't an a/b divide but a spectrum between the two, and in this case it's even more complicated because a society could take a collectivist view about one thing and an individualist view about others.

Japan using generative AI less than other countries | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News
A government survey shows that Japan is lagging behind in the use of generative AI. It shows that fewer people and businesses in the country utilize the technology compared to other major economies.

Because they're not brain dead idiots perhaps ?

Not that surprising considering Japanese government only retired floppy disks in 2024 and fax machines are still in widespread use there.
I suddenly have a love for Japan and want to live there among my 2000s tech hoard

Japanese people tend to make a big deal out of the "human touch," especially when it comes to service, so I can see how companies aren't jumping on to the hype. We're also pretty slow to adopt change.
Oh and maybe the shit exchange rate makes it expensive to use the service as everything is pretty much foreign tech.

Aren't they the ones that first came up with robot servers in restaurants? Or maybe that was South Korea?

Japan has always been behind most of the world in software advancements. They built their reputation on hardware, but even there they’re significantly lagging.
It was weird watching the divergent development of cell phones in Japan vs the US. The US cell phone industry went all in on software advancements. Japan had phones with all of these weird attachable hardware modules. I remember Japanese cell phones looking like an old gameboy with every attachment accessory on it.
Japan also started the whole emoji thing, though.

I like the work culture in the Netherlands, on the whole, there's a focus on work/life balance. I get to spend a day per week with my kids and I only lose 30% of the pay of that day.
After I spend those days, which are 45 total, I can still spend a day in the week with my kid, unpaid. But my boss cannot block me from doing that and needs to keep my 40 hour contract intact for when I want to resume my full-time work.
Also I don't actually lose 20% of my pay, but due to government help I lose about 12% doing this unpaid day.

Japan is the only place ive seen ai ads and posters around town though

As opposed to the shorter term?
Shorter term: less foreign investments in the speculative industry casino of AI in their country
Longer term: A less brainrotted workforce

Like I did not already like the way that country does things enough.

Yeah, their work-the-workers-literally-to-death culture is top notch.

They could have AI on a floppy that faxes generated images.
And when the power goes out during fax transmission, they could use one of those portable power stations from GearScouts to keep the legacy tech running - some of the LFP battery ones have gotten really good price per watt-hour latlely.
