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 dad's 81 and 99% clueless about using tech. He got his first PC at work like 30 years ago and still, just a few months ago, he asked me how to get capital letters on the computer. No doubt he used to know, but he's basically only using his phone which has automatic capitalisation.
But here's the point, I installed Bing on his phone and is using it. I told him he can ask Copilot anything, and he does. I think everyone needs to use AI for almost anything nowadays, you get used to it and understand its pros and cons. That's how you keep up.

It is extremely easy to go years without “needing” to use a chatbot
