Surely the “killer app” is ChatGPT itself?

ChatGPT has already put some copywriters and journalists out of work, or at least reduced their hours. The app is quite literally “killing” something, i.e. people’s jobs. For those people, it’s not just empty hype. It’s very real. Certainly it’s already more real than anything having to do with blockchain/crypto.

I'm dubious. The few news websites that started publishing LLM articles (CNET, etc) were already circling the drain. They'd probably have fired their journalists anyway because they're on the edge of bankruptcy.

I expect that, over the next few years, companies that need to lay off workers will spin their mismanagement by claiming they are replacing those jobs with "AI".
