Lately I’ve noticed something interesting about how people around me relate to AI. It feels like most of my friends now fall into one of two extremes. The first group: the AI power users (borderline addicted). These people use AI so much they forget to sleep. Their tool list is endless, models, agents, plugins, automation workflows, you name it. They’re constantly testing “can this do X?” or “what if I combine this with that?”, building solutions for problems that are real, but not always urgent. Vibe coding is basically digital crack to them. Once they’re in the zone, they don’t stop. Half the time they’re amazed by what AI can do, the other half they’re being pushed forward by the next shiny tool. It’s always about the next level. Some of them are already making money with it. One friend told me last week he’s using a no-code tool like Genstore to build ecommerce sites for merchants, then using its AI features to help manage products, orders, and support. Mostly automated. He’s pulling in a few thousand dollars a month doing that. The second group: traditional industry, cruising mode. They picked the right industry years ago. Cash flow is solid, business is stable. Their AI usage stops at “can ChatGPT help me write something?” They don’t really know or care about the difference between GPT, Claude, Manus, etc. To them, AI is a nice bonus, not a core production tool. Something helpful, but not essential. The funny part is these two groups barely understand each other. The first group thinks the second group will “eventually get wiped out by AI.” The second group thinks the first group is “too hyped, too restless, trying too hard.” I don’t know who’s right. Maybe both. Or neither. But the gap in how people feel about AI right now is bigger than I expected. submitted by /u/Appropriate-Lie-8812
