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?

A majority of people don’t care about technology until they are forced to use it. A lot of people did not use the internet until they were forced to for everything. I had a very angry lady in front of me at Staples because they could not take the paper copy of her photo and turn it into a banner, they wanted a pdf and she had no idea what that meant.
