No, AI isn't.

Any new tech, or version upgrade, or whatever, takes time for people to become familiar with it. You might as well say "Stack Overflow is stifling new tech adoption" because brand-new stuff doesn't have many Q's and A's yet. But that would be a silly thing to say.

I'm not going to adopt a brand-new database regardless of LLM training data cutoff, just because enough people haven't had enough experience with it.

And LLM's have a commercial incentive to retrain every so often anyways. It's not like we're going to confront a situation where an LLM doesn't know anything about tech that come out 5 or 10 years ago.

Early adopters will be early adopters. And early adopters aren't the kind of people relying on an LLM to tell them what to try out.
