If you’re like us, you spend a lot of time thinking about AI — both in the context of your work and also in how it can improve your personal life. What that means is that you probably also think about what form factors AI products will take — and you probably have opinions about whether open LLMs are a good idea. If you’re like us, most of your coworkers and your friends are also excited about Llama-3. What that means is that if you’re like us, you live in a bit of a bubble.

At RunLLM, we spend a lot of our time now talking to people who don’t live in this bubble. These are almost all very technical people, but surprisingly most of these people don’t yet trust AI-powered tools as a category. They’re skeptical of how valuable the technology will be and whether LLMs will be valuable for their workflows.

Naturally, we disagree! But in order to convince people otherwise, we have to understand why they think what they think. Of course, every reason doesn’t apply to every person — and there are definitely more reasons than we cover here — but these are the biggest trends we’ve noticed.
