Exactly. People are actually paying to use ChartGPT. 10 Millions subscribers and 1 million in Business and Enterprise. Number 1 in Productivity Download on App Store. My 10 years old nephew are using ChartGPT to do all sort of things, and she told me her whole class are using it. I have heard a few real life conversation about ChartGPT being what Google ( as in search engine ) should have been all along.
And these people dont know a thing about C, Java, CPU or RAM. They are not tech people.
Over the decades the moment I hear real life conversation from non tech people in public talking about certain tech and being somewhat enthusiastic about it, is the moment that piece of tech has reached escape velocity. And it will go mainstream. And somewhat strangely enough, I only started using more ChartGPT because every non-tech people are starting to use it. And they use it much more than I do.
Just like people laughed about "Smartphone" as in iPhone era. Lots of tech people including i believe MKBHD only got their first Smartphone with iPhone 4, most consumer are even later. While I have watched the introduction of iPhone Keynote a dozen times before the thing was even shipped. The adoption curve of any tech will never be linear.
The example pointed out at the start of the article is somewhat bizarre. AWS is only pausing Colo. Apple Intelligence has more to blame with Apple themselves rather than AI. Intel ( or PC ) not selling AI enhanced chip is because consumer dont buy AI hardware, they buy AI functions. And so far nothing on Windows OS seems to be AI enhanced and specifically requires the AI Intel CPU.
And I am not even Pro AI or AI Optimist to see all that.
