A thousand percent.

- Rust was a bit memetic.

- Blockchain had more of a sceptic tone to it.

- But ChatGPT, is really different.

You have posts on how to use it better, how it's so good that it may turn against us, and things built on top of it. I don't think this is going to stop. Especially with the pace that OpenAI has shown by shipping GPT-4, updating the models, plugins, and so on. They may be fine-tuning GPT-5 right now.

this is exactly the point. Is this a natural progression ? or being promoted ?
It's legitimately mind-blowing, paradigm shifting technology. Most of us haven't experienced a shift like this since the arrival of smart phones, and the personal computer before that.

There's a reason a lot of smart people are talking about it. It's not just mindless hype followers and crypto bros moving to AI, although of course there's an element of that to it. The fact of the matter is that ChatGPT is insanely cool, whether you like it or not. It's the beginning of a new era and everyone feels it.
