It’s also the latest hype technology that consumers want little to nothing to do with.
After the big AI update on iPhone, I haven’t noticed much of a difference, and I’m honestly grateful for the limited extent to which it has been thrust upon me so far.
There are definitely legitimate use cases, but for the most part, this new way of generating text is confused with actual intelligence.
You’d be surprised. There’s definitely a ton of interest from consumers. Anecdotally, my wife used it to create a few quick logo ideas for her private practice (she hired a real artist for the final one), my coworkers and I use it for quick boilerplate script template creation, my immediate and extended family have all used it to modify/clean up family pictures, friends have used it in group chats for all sorts of things, etc etc. There’s a reason that it’s being implemented everywhere, and it’s not simply because there’s no consumer interest and it’s all corporate hype buzz. Just because you specifically aren’t interested doesn’t nullify the tens of millions of people using the various flavors of ChatGPT, Gemini, and/or whatever the hell Amazon’s is every day.
But yes, it is not real intelligence. I don’t think I’ve talked to anyone who truly believes it is. It’s just a new, highly versatile tool. Hell, I just saw a video of some jackass on YouTube programming a robotic arm to be controlled by ChatGPT and it had a rifle mounted to the arm. Using voice commands, ChatGPT was able to aim and shoot the rifle with crazy precision and speed: https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/popAFs2kmY

I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted stating facts, what is this reddit. There’s massive interest. https://fortune.com/2025/01/07/sam-altman-openai-chatgpt-pro-subscription-losing-money-tech/#%3A~%3Atext=The+company+has+projected+that%2Cpower+used+to+run+ChatGPT.
There’s interest as long as they don’t charge the full value of the product.
What if it wasn’t $200/mo? What if people had to actually pay the cost?
