You could be right, but I suspect that you're underestimating the degree to which GPT has become the Kleenex of the LLM space in the consumer zeitgeist.

Based on all of the behaviour psychology books I've read, Claude would have to introduce a model that is 10x better and 10x cheaper - or something so radically different that it registers as an entirely new thing - for it to hit the radar outside of the tech world.

I encourage you to sample the folks in your life that don't work in tech. See if any of them have ever even heard of Claude.

I don’t think people outside of tech hearing about OpenAI more than Claude is really indicative of much. Ask those same people how much they use an LLM and it’s often rare-to-never.

Also, in what way has OpenAI become the Kleenex of the LLM space? Anthropic, Google, Facebook have no gpts, nobody “gpts” something, nobody uses that companies “gpt”.

I would say perhaps OpenAI has become the Napster, MySpace, or Facebook of the LLM space. Time will tell how long they keep that title

I am surrounded by people who "ask GPT" things constantly.

That seems like the same thing to me.

Are these people asking chatGPT though? Or do they say “ask GPT” and then use other LLMs?

I feel like I hear “ask Claude” as much as “ask chatGPT”
