There seems to be a fairly large cohort among the HN crowd that does not understand the hold ChatGPT has on the cultural zeitgeist.
No normie in my life ever talks of using Gemini or Llama in their day to day life. Maybe some turbo twitter addict boomies talk about using grok, but that's about it.
Regular people are leveraging chatGPT to pick up the slack that google search enshittification left in their lives. It's a Skype to Zoom shift and lots of people here seem to not really appreciate it. They are too caught up on esoteric benchmark scores to recognize the tectonic plates moving beneath them.
