I have a lot of friends who have incredibly varied backgrounds and this rings true for me. A friend who grew up in the worst rural schools, still lives in mobile home 2.5 hours from the nearest major city, driving 35 minutes through the country to their restaurant job in their grandmothers car, while taking care of the 3-year old kid they had when they were 18 while co-parenting with their divorced husband, while dealing with felony drug charges, and makes <$1,500/month has absolutely grokked the realities of ChatGPT and Midjourney without me mentioning anything about it to them. Instagram and TikTok expose people to these trends and mobile apps with free accounts open up immediate exploration to the masses. Two friends who are 35 year old mostly-unemployed interior designers with an anthropology degree and no college degree are using it for drafting quotes. Every lawyer, MBB consultant, and computer programmer I know either uses them heavily or are aware of colleagues who do. I tutor a ton of students at a mid-tier state school, every single student I know in high school or university are using ChatGPT for their schoolwork. And the 5-7 year olds I know have much worse typing skills than I had at that age, because they use Siri to do 90% of the things on their phone/tablets. It annoys the shit out of me because it looks so painful and the noise of them talking to their phone is obnoxious, but I can absolutely see the paradigm changing to where the youngest generation might not even use keyboards for their first choice as a computing interface. Powerful LLM's will greatly improve their interaction with Siri.
