I guess we'll see. I use a Mac and iPhone and I use the internet like everyone else, so I see the AI stuff that Apple and Google and others are pushing. Personally, I find almost all of it to be annoying and unnecessary and not solving any actual problems I have. Like believe me, I am the laziest person on the planet and if AI is going to make my life easier, it's like, where do I sign up? ChatGPT does make my life better, and accordingly I happily pay them the 20 bucks every month. But every time I try one of these AI thingies it ends up being a disappointment. Time will tell if others secretly share the same view and the emperor's clothes come off at some point, or if I'm actually just a grumpy luddite.

So, you are already using more than just ChatGPT. And we both know you aren't going to switch off Mac and iPhone.
> Time will tell
23 hours... so yeah, not long at all.
Apple is being smart and prompting the user to accept going to ChatGPT for LLM searches so that the user knows it's not apple when it hallucinates..

"You're already using it, and you don't even realize it."
With all the hype it would be quite difficult to not "realize" where it is allegedly being used. There is a comical effort to claim that AI is being used in everything.
The trick is to extend the definition of AI to any statistical method, or recently, conditional logic.
Well, we, as developers, need to adapt to changing market conditions just like everyone else.
Cryptos big thing is buying drugs online.
Apple has heavily integrated AI into it's systems and apps. Every other major tech company is actively adding it to their apps and systems in many different ways. They aren't talking about future potential. We are years past that already. It's here. That's it. We aren't trying to convince people that AI is here to stay. Rather, we are already talking about a post-AI/LLM world. Crypto never really got to that state.
What was crypto's big thing? Ape pictures.
> I literally don't use any other AI applications.
Linux users will get there too. Especially if you start using ANY tech used by any of the major players. You are already using it, and you don't even realize it.
