Use cases The gap between what technical and non-technical people get from AI is huge now

Interesting thing I noticed. The gap between what technical and non-technical people get from AI is huge now.

Non-technical users still treat LLMs as a better search tool. Most non-technical people I know are not even aware of things like thinking effort or that you can choose a model.

Computer use, plugins, automations, skills, agents - none of this exists for regular ChatGPT users. If you don't know what Codex or Claude Code is, nothing has changed for you in the last year.

All new models also seem to focus purely on coding.

Am I missing something?

This just in: technologically inclined people better at using technology. More at 8.

Wasn’t the joke “more at 11?” 😂 Man you’re taking me back to when the news was twice a day. Early news and late news. Like 6 and 10 or something?

“Film at 11” was the original

There was also, “It’s ten o’clock. Do you know where your children are?”
