ChatGPT is cool and all, but this breathless hype is starting to feel like “blockchain will take over everything” hype from a few years back. Shiny new toy hype.

I try to be skeptical about new tech. But I honestly don't see GPT anything like Blockchain. Blockchain was always opposed by the establishment, it was a scrappy hacker thing trying to disrupt traditional finance. By contrast, GPT is born of the monopolies, and it has such immediately obvious applications.
Nah… it’s changing my life in too many ways to count. It’s all about how you use it.
This has so many uses in everything I do everyday. I use it so much already I think I might be developing a dependence. That’s the sign, at least anecdotally, that the hype is warranted.
