The hype around it is pretty insufferable though, in a way neither of the other examples you gave had.

The closest example I can think of is NFTs.

I don’t think it’ll go the way of NFTs, but it’s also going to disappoint people because it’s promising to be everything for everyone.

As far as I’m concern it’s a very powerful search assistant and especially for bridging the gap between regular and power users - being able to use natural language is a game changer.

I also found it great when getting set up with a new piece of SW, and rephrasing or summarising text on general topics. It’s not so good for parsing specialist information even when asked for specific items.

I’m looking forward to seeing what other tools people build with it but thus far I’ve been thoroughly… whelmed.
