People moan about that but it doesn’t change their consumer habits at all.

I’m not certain about that, but it’s all very abstract to people. It is also tied to their phones for most people which they’d never give up anyway.

The more direct connection on something they don’t (yet) value as much as they value their phones might be a bridge too far.

An LLM feels like a person to a lot of people. It might be surprisingly difficult to avoid people feeling betrayed or creeped out by this “person”. No one has ever done this before and it doesn’t seem easy or like a straightforward win.
