Nick Perry maps out five tiers of AI users, from people unaware of AI to advanced users automating business tasks. Most people are stuck in the middle, using only basic chatbots like ChatGPT. Perry challenges you to figure out where you fall and how to move up.
Everyone falls somewhere on this spectrum and most people max out right in the middle without ever knowing it. At the very bottom you got the UBI junkies. These are the people who don't know what AI is yet. If you use these tools then you're the bottom 10% of AI users. Right above them are the beginners. They know about AI but they still only use it as a basic chatbot. So they're typing ChatGPT all day. If that's you, you're still stuck in the bottom 25%. Then you got the novices. These are the people watching AI content and playing with these tools. But still got some learning to do. Next are the Trailblazers. These are the people who've been at it a while and know exactly what to look for. They already moved into these tools: Claude Cowork, Antigravity, Claude Code. And if they run any kind of business, they've automated all the bullshit. Which one are you, and what are you planning to do to get out of the middle?
