Anecdotally, many non-technical users or "regular joes" as it were that I know who were very enthusiastic about AI a year ago are now disengaging. With the rate really picking up the last couple of months.

Their usage has declined primarily with OpenAI and Gemini tools, no one has mentioned Anthropic based models but I don't think normies know they exist honestly.

The disengagement seems to be that with enough time and real world application, the shortcomings have become more noticable and the patience they once had for incorrect or unreliable output has effectively evaporated. In cases, to the point where its starting to outweigh any gains they get.

Not all of the normies I know to be fair, but a surprising amount given the strange period of quiet inbetween "This is amazing!" and "eh, its not as good as I thought it was at first."
