Host Emily Laird breaks down a16z’s March 2026 generative AI consumer app rankings, and the verdict is clear: AI is no longer the shiny new kid, it is the plumbing, the lighting, and the landlord. From ChatGPT and Gemini to Canva, CapCut, and Notion, this episode explains why the real battle is not about the flashiest model, but who becomes your default brain on a busy Tuesday. It is a sharp, funny look at how consumer AI slipped into everyday life through convenience, connectors, and sheer habit. Also on the table: public distrust, global adoption shifts, and why the future of AI looks less like sci-fi and more like your open browser tabs.
