I think OpenAI has caught the non tech mind share. I noticed just this week that my friend group and girlfriend no longer say we will Google something, but rather let me ask ChatGPT…

Chatgpt is going to be more like "jeep". My relatively old grandma just calls all SUVs jeeps. Meanwhile, she doesn't even drive an SUV.

I doubt anyone from gen Z, or any gen, really, is entrapped to chatgpt. They'll all just use what is easiest and requires the lowest amount of input energy to get a semi passable output.

Yeah, I even sometimes use "ChatGPT" to refer to the general concept when talking to friends and family.
It is pretty funny how such a clumsy programmer-name ended up catching on regardless. At this point even if they move on to a totally different model architecture they'll have to keep calling it GPT forever because that's the name everyone knows.
ChatGDP? Yeah I use it
