I actually disagree here. Mostly because when I’ve visited friends & family in rural, non-tech areas, even folks who are a bit older are constantly using AI in some for. Eg to help with car repairs, help plan family functions (to the point someone brought twice as much food as needed to a funeral bc ChatGPT said so), etc.

It is really, really easy to use, and I think triggers similar dopamine response that has cause FB so become so prevalent.

I mean, yeah, there are plenty of apps where AI fucking sucks and no one will use it, but I think basic ChatGPT-type use is extremely common already
