All of my non techy friends use it, it's the new search engine. I think at this point people refusing to use it are the echo chamber.

Depends what you count as AI (just googling makes you use the LLM summary), but also my mother who is really not tech affine loved what google lense can do, after I showed her.

Apart from my very old grandmothers, I don't know anyone not using AI.

How many people do you know? Do you talk to your local shop keeper? Or the clerk at the gas station? How are they using AI? I'm a pretty techy person with a lot of tech friends, and I know more people not using AI (on purpose, or lack of knowledge) then do.

Hm, quite some. Like I said, it depends what you count as AI.

Just googling means you use AI nowdays.

Whether Googling something counts as AI has more to do with the shifting definition of AI over time, then with Googling itself.

Remember, really back in the day the A* search algorithm was part of AI.

If you had asked anyone in the 1970s whether a box that given a query pinpoints the right document that answers that question (aka Google search in the early 2000s), they'd definitely would have called it AI.

Google gives you an AI summary, reading that means interacting with LLMs.

Google also gives you ads. Some learn to scroll past before reading.

I'm sort of old but not a grandmother. Not using AI.
