No, I'm saying they are not a 'technical person'.

I know them very well, and they are not a coder, or a 'technical person' by a broad HN definition.

What I'm saying is that we are at the point where technology is so pervasive in our society, and the lure of AI so seductive, that many more people are excited to try things out than I might have expected.

I suppose it has similarities to the early to mid 1980s and the home computing revolution. Where many people thought they should have a computer at home, even if they were not sure what they'd do with it.

Much like the excitement around AI today!
