    Anecdotal, but pretty much all my friends use ChatGPT. So there is definitely some demand, but I doubt any of them would pay for it. They also all realize more and more that it’s a bullshit machine that cannot be trusted.

      yup, “ask chatgpt” has seeped its way into the minds of all people around me.

      i think the problem with ai is how they can’t make money off of it, they seem to have pushed it to people just fine.

      I have a number of friends and family members who pay for ChatGPT, and I’ve been shocked to watch their ability to form an original thought shrivel up.

        Good point. While I knew that this iteration of “AI” would not revolutionise jobs or creative work, it is so scary how society just accepted that everyone would lose their job and everything else. We could just… Not do that. Or at least do it in a better system.

      I get that. And I am even perfectly willing to believe that it has some genuine utility for a lot of people, but something that people would use for free is a far cry from something that is going to recover a trillion dollars worth of investment and infrastructure.
