I'm sure we will see lots of hand-wringing here on Ycombinator about the results, which will completely miss the point of how many people in the real world are sick of how overhyped AI is and the negative impacts that hype is having. The tech industry's obsession with AI is souring a lot of people on it because adoption/promotion isn't happening organically.

I haven't seen a single ad from ChatGPT here in Spain, yet everywhere I go, there are tons of people using ChatGPT for all kinds of stuff. Last time I saw it in the wild, it was the person who was giving me the keys to a car I wanted to test drove, that was using ChatGPT and had it opened on their computer.

Seemingly to me, adoption is happening without ads or promotion, how do you explain away this?

FWIW, I wouldn't say I'm "YES AI" nor "NO AI", but I do use LLMs daily to programming.
