The author, on a date with a non-tech person, saw an OpenAI ad in SOMA. The date commented, 'They're just putting words but what do the words even mean?' This reflects the confusion and alienation non-tech people feel towards AI marketing. The author also notes moving social circle away from tech people to native Bay Area non-tech people, who resent tech people, Waymos, AI billboards, ChatGPT, and EVs, believing we live in a bubble.
