> but maybe AI mainstream adoption will take longer than we anticipate
It will take longer than some "evangelists" anticipate, but other than a lot of tech hypecycles (like web3), this one is different for 3 reasons:
a) It's firmly in the public mindspace, including mass media
b) It has already proven it's usefulness and applicability to real world problems
c) Politics are taking it very seriously
There are people who don't use it, for various reasons, but it is increasingly hard to never have heard of it.
A large part of that drive is due to the simple accessibility: Making ChatGPT as a convenient and simple webapp that appeals to non-techies was a brilliant move, and Microsoft driving integration into it's product suite will further adoption as well.
