This comment is buried deep but I think it's actually quite important. In 2005 you had the elderly googling "Can I have a recipe for an apple pie? Thank you." vs kids doing "apple pie recipe" and clicking the first result. Some (most?) people just weren't capable of conceptualizing the abstract idea of "internet search" so they talked to the machine like they'd talk to other humans.

Until coronavirus virtually anyone regardless of mental skills could get a high-paying job as a coder, there was no filter at all.

What we'll observe now is the split between those who can conceptualize the idea of an AI, and those who cannot. The latter group will be stuck talking to AI in a way that doesn't leverage how it actually works.
