I talk to a smart people every day, who consider themselves strong AI users.
Aside from engineers, 95% of them are just using chat, maybe with a few .doc and .xlsx files uploaded.
Hardly anybody is actually using AI at the level you’d think based on this app.
And to be clear, I don’t think that makes them dumb or anything like that. I just think it’s a reflection of how X is heavily overindexed on 150 iq autists- that’s why I love it here, but it’s important not to get lost in the sauce.
yesterday i was reminded that the world i experience is very different to what's actually happening for ~99% of the population.
my girlfriend was working on her laptop and showing me her ai use, which is gemini because it's bundled with google business accounts. everyone at her company uses it and mostly the flash models because cheap and fast
my guess is this is most people's experience with ai, that and chatgpt via the iphone app or web
most still have no idea about agents, harnesses, mcp. tech and X is very much its own wee world
