I don't think you realize how mainstream the story has been. My grandfather, who is as non-tech as humanly possible, brought it up to me.

Agreed. My wife acts as my North Star for knowing whether tech news is in the mainstream. She doesn’t care about tech.

She said yesterday and Friday her instagram was full of people deleting ChatGPT and downloading/paying for Claude.

It’s definitely beyond the tech bubble.

This does remind me of the brief period after the TikTok annexation where people moved to Xiaohongshu (RedNote) .. for about three days.

It's much, much closer to the X -> Bluesky, I expect.

My girlfriend migrated to Claude from Gemini and she's not techie at all. She says she likes the answers Claude gives a lot more in general because Gemini is too dramatic. Claude is definitely beyond the tech sphere.
