That he mentions his barber using it without prompting by him means that we're at least on the part of the curve from the early mid up to the very end.
I've noticed this too with friends and coworkers. People that I would think would have no business knowing about chatGPT are already using it in their work and their lives.
Almost axiomatically, that means that we have to be in the 'mass adoption' phase to some degree.
But I don't agree. I think we're in the early shallow phase still.
'The Kids' aren't the ones using it. I'm not being left behind by the 'hip new thing' like I should be. To me, that means that the nerds are still gawking about with it, trying on new things. Once 'The Kids' get a hand on it and use it in the innocent and unabashed way that they always do, then I can say we're in the early-mid phase. And by 'The Kids', I mean not the nerds at school, but the 'It Girls' and the 'Jocks', those kinds of people. If you hear your stoner nephew talking about it, but not your stoner brother, then you're in the early-mid phase, at least to me.
