Thanks again for another thought-provoking post. I saw your tweets with ChatGPT - you delivered a decent training session to bot and handlers alike!

In keeping with the theme of your post, I also felt curious about why the AI chatbot (which I've quickly come to think of as nextgen Q) was being shoved down our digital throats so forcefully, despite it being obviously undercooked, and concluded one reason could be to create a quasi parental bond between us and it. The more avid chatbotters will quickly evolve a sense of prideful ownership and offer excuses and forgiveness for any developmental stumbles, defending their drooling prodigy to the bitter end.

And then, after the predicted "essential maintenance" downtime, it might return with a penchant for audio-visual engagement, perhaps streamGPT and podGPT will be unveiled in a nod to the demise of "outmoded and dreary" keyboard and text-based comms. Sod that.
