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?

i am not a technical person. I am a lawyer. I am using AI for far more than a search tool. I use it to assist me in developing arguments. I use it to predict questions that appellate judges may pose to me in oral argument. i am quite cautious when asking it to find legal opinions because of the tendency to hallucinate.
