It's the opposite in my experience: people inside tech are (probably rightly) skeptical, making comments about "Eliza 2.0", meanwhile I am listening to car podcasts where the people are using ChatGPT to write valentines cards for their wives...
Part of me thinks the tech echo chamber is working the other way around here: a lot of techies who just know and and talk to other techies are all in a bubble thinking it's all overhyped blahablhabah without stepping back and thinking how it can enable every day people (whatever that means) to do things they previously could not -- at speed.
