Normal people aren't paying for LLMs.

If they ever do Apple and Google will offer it as a service built into your phone .

For example, you could say ok Google call that restaurant me and My girlfriend had our first date at 5 years ago, set up something nice so I can propose. And I guess Google Gemini ( or whatever it's called at this point), Will hire a band, some photographers, and maybe even a therapist just in case it doesn't work out.

All of this will be done seamlessly.

But I don't imagine any normal person will pay 20 or $30 a month for a standalone service doing this. As is it's going to be really hard to compete against GitHub Copilot they effectively block others from scrapping GitHub.

But why hire a therapist when Gemini is there to talk to?

Re: Github Copilot: IME it's already behind. I finally gave Cursor a try after seeing it brought up so often, and its suggestions and refactors are leagues ahead of what Copilot can do.

Well for one, there's no doctor patient confidentiality.

It is behind, but I think that's intentional. They can simply wait and see which of the competing VSCode AI forks/extensions gains the most traction and then acquire them or just imitate and improve. Very little reason to push the boundaries for them right now.

Because the most important part of therapy for a lot of things is the human connection, not so much the knowledge. Therapy is important, the US system is just stupid

Hire 1000 people in India to do it then?

I know relatively "normal" people with no interest in software who pay for ChatGPT.

[wokwokwok]

Most. Most normal people.

Sure I know people who pay for it too; but I know a lot of people who like free things and don’t or can’t pay for subscriptions.

Do you think most people have a spare $30 to spend every month on something they already get for free?

At the moment? I don’t.

[hiatus]

The parent did not say "most normal people".

[wokwokwok]

The parent said “normal people”; that’s the majority, by definition. That’s what “most people” is.

[datavirtue]

Yeah, it's table stakes.
