alt Hacker NewsThe money is not on the casual users, the money is on the lawyers and accountants, and consulting specialists that have actual business use cases.

Sure, but the message I was responding to was describing casual uses: people using AI to argue with their doctor or review some contract, or what have you.
The problem with the "double the work" narrative is it ignores the second order effect. You can do twice the work, but so does everyone else. You doubled the supply, was there a massive pent-up demand for lawyers or accountants at the current price point?
