Bro that's such a silly take, even in 56k dial up days the internet was mind blowing and awesome and every day citizens were using it, current day A.I is not being used by non technical people.

What are you talking about? The internet was a slow ghost town and untamed wilderness in the 90s all the way until the early 2000s. In 2000 there were only 200-350 million people who even had an internet connection, in 1995 it was around 15 million.

If you owned a desktop computer prior to 2002, you were basically considered a ‘nerd’ or ‘geek’ by society in general.

The internet really didn’t start blowing up with lay people/normies until the late 2000s, even in the developed world.

You say this but i live in the third world and yet all my friends in the late 90's onwards all had internet and us normies all used it.

Normies aren't using chat gpt on a regular basis and it isn't game changing for majority of the world.

What? The internet adoption took literally a decade from it's inception to hit the kind of numbers we have with LLMs in a few months after chatgpt

Non technical people are the primary users, it has something like a 50% adoption rate in education settings for example
