Haves, have-nots and know-nots: Inside AI's new class divide
TL;DR
A staggering class divide now separates how Americans experience artificial intelligence: For frontier power users, AI feels like a revolution: a force capable of conjuring companies, building software and solving complex problems at warp speed. For the average person, it feels more like an evolution: a smarter search bar, a faster inbox, an ambient tech layer that saves time — but not much else.
Nauti's Take
For small teams, this is less a future-of-work debate and more an operations question about who can actually use the tools well. Check whether AI know-how sits with one power user or whether prompts, templates, and review rules are documented well enough to become repeatable workflows.
One caveat remains: the scope of the divide is still lightly sourced here and largely framed through Axios alone.
