I think the real innovation that underpins chatgtp is not the LLM but the UI. The large companies have finally woken up to the fact that a simple chat interface is superior to most people than having to filter and scroll a bunch of Google links and description text - it removes a barrier to the original intent (find out the answer to X). It’s value is utility and as long as it’s correct 80%? Of the time - people won’t care. It’s the same phenomenon as when you are working on a tech team and are new. It’s easier to ask the guy who’s been there a couple of years where a piece of code is rather than go hunt for it yourself, even if he doesn’t always know the correct answer.
