alt Hacker Newsthis. I don't know any non-tech people who use anything other than chatgpt. On a similar note, I've wondered why Amazon doesn't make a chatgpt-like app with their latest Alexa+ makeover, seems like a missed opportunity. The Alexa app has a feature to talk to the LLM in chat mode, but the overall app is geared towards managing devices.

Google has great distribution to be able to just put Gemini in front of people who are already using their many other popular services. ChatGPT definitely came out of the gate with a big lead on name recognition, but I have been surprised to hear various non-techy friends talking about using Gemini recently, I think for many of them just because they have access at work through their Workspace accounts.
