It isn’t really a question of ability to install the app. Anybody can do that. The difficult part is convincing anyone you want to talk to to also use it as well.
I just started work for a small company with a bunch of service techs flying around the country sending proprietary company information back and forth all day. Perfect application for something like Signal, but the owner is an Apple fanatic, so everyone carries iPhones and uses iMessage.
Does the meme not imply that people are smart enough to know how to use LLMs, but not smart enough to know how to use apps like signal?
I’m saying that people are smart enough to know how to use them. But when you don’t know anybody else who uses them, it doesn’t matter if you know how to use it, or even if you really want to, you can’t because nobody else does. (Which makes the “with no downsides” part of your meme a bit untrue - I’d definitely consider not being able to talk to a majority of people a downside)
It’d be like if you made the bottom panel, “users when asked to order directly from the manufacturer instead of supporting Amazon.” People know how to do it, but… nobody cares.
I see, I’ve seen the meme used to unironically call people stupid, but in your case you’re using it more as “people are pretending to be stupid and saying it’s too hard”.
I wasn’t trying to overthink, just to understand what you were going for. Sorry to those who I offended and felt the need to downvote. Lmao.

Ahem … hence the meme?

That’s not the point. It’s about how they pretend that it’s super inconvenient to install “another app”. Creating an account? Uuuugh.
However, learning about some shitty AI, which is inconvenient, is totally inbound. The meme mocks the irrational perception of convenience.
And, hey, it’s just a stupid meme. Don’t overthink it. 😂
