Some 37% of humans alive today have never used the Internet. Most people I talk to have heard about ChatGPT, but far fewer have heard of Nvidia.

I don't question people's ability to adapt, people are adaptible. But if you've never even heard of it, what is there to adapt to?

You originally mentioned chatGPT, not Nvidia, different story there. Also, for the 37%, sure, if we want to go to the extremes of deeply isolated or subsistence poor communities, or countries run by deeply totalitarian regimes, you'll see plenty of people who know little or nothing about chatGPT, google, etc. I was referring to any normal or even semi-developed context that at last has widespread internet use.

Example: I live in a country that still has a great deal of deep poverty, it's what's called a "developing economy" (sort of an odd phrase since aren't all economies always still developing at all times? but I digress) and even in all but the most deeply poor rural places here, most people frequently use the internet. And I know nobody who doesn't at least know of chatGPT or about how AI can now talk to you like a person would and answer all kinds of questions, let alone not knowing about things like Google and so forth.
