Hi Ida, thanks for sharing your thoughts—this is an interesting point, so let me try to respond.

If we're discussing AI before it reached end users, then shouldn't we also compare it to computers before the personal computer era, like the UNIVAC, which was mainly used by the U.S. government?

When I was writing this post, my focus was really on when the technology reached everyday users, rather than when it was just a research concept or a theoretical breakthrough.
