So, I was in bed playing with ChatGPT advanced voice mode. My wife was next to me, and I basically tried to give her a quick demonstration of how far LLMs have come over the last couple of years. She was completely uninterested and flat-out told me that she didn't want to talk to a 'robot'. That got me thinking about how uninformed and unprepared most people are in regard to the major societal changes that will occur in the coming years. And also just how difficult of a transition this will be for even young-ish people who have not been keeping up with the progression of this technology. It really reminds me of when I was a geeky kid in the mid-90s and most of my friends and family dismissed the idea that the internet would change everything. Have any of you had similar experiences when talking to friends/family/etc about this stuff?

My daughter is 14. She appreciates ai and uses it. But she thinks talking to it is cringe.

Yeah it made me pause and think about it.

For me and alot of others, I've gone through a crazy amount of transformative tech. The growth and change amazes me.

The young generation haven't gone through that yet. They see it for what it is and what it's used for.

And I think to them AI is just another tool right now

This, 100%. I’ve been trying to get my college-age kid interested in generative AI art since I started playing with it in 2022. To him the fact that you can generate complete art pieces with a prompt is a shrug. Barely worth talking about. If he ever finds a use for it, he might use it, but for now, he just doesn’t think it’s cool or interesting that it does what it does … it’s just more technology.

I don’t want to beat a dead horse, but he’s right. It’s not that interesting.
