No, everyone is not using AI for everything

Article excerpt

Gabriel Weinberg challenges the tech industry's assumption that AI adoption is universal and inevitable. He argues that despite widespread hype, most people use AI selectively for specific tasks rather than integrating it into their daily workflows. Drawing on consumer behavior data, Weinberg distinguishes between curiosity-driven experimentation and sustained adoption, suggesting that AI's real-world penetration lags significantly behind venture capital expectations and media narratives. The piece pushes back against Silicon Valley's tendency to extrapolate niche user enthusiasm into mass-market claims.
