For weeks, they've had a line of dozens even at 9pm when I drive by.
I don't think that "everyone likes trying new things when they first become available" is unique to AI. Even ice cream stores have this effect, so I'm not sure if you just discount everything new or aren't familiar with this general phenomenon.
Almost like demand and markets can change/grow in response to what is offered
Human nature is to buzz around anything new more than stuff we already know, and of course that dynamic will surround new and exciting things
Like cutting edge AI
I’d probably try the factory ‘droid’ first, but if it fails to solve a problem and swapping to another one means it solves it, I’ll probably never use the factory one again.
I’d consider this pretty normal as we’re moving closer to ‘this is actually a mature stack that devs use for work’. Very few people in my company actually take interest in their development tooling and use whatever came pre-configured. (our stack is not sexy)
(Let me know if I’m incorrectly conflating the ‘droid’ concept with foundation models)
