Chatbots aren’t new. They’ve existed in some form since as far back as the 1960s. But there’s something special about ChatGPT, the conversational chatbot that’s captivated investors, tech giants and the public since its November debut.
The internet already abounds with ideas for how to put ChatGPT’s human-like dialogue to use, from creating custom chatbots to help fight traffic tickets to creating workout and diet plans.
I’m hoping 2023 is the year tech giants continue to be humbled. Getting treated like prophets because they lucked into being part of a giant asset bubble isn’t good for anyone.
