No, ChatGPT was not hailed as one of 2022's most impressive technological innovations upon its release last November.

ChatGPT has over 100 million users 2 months in. It's not even remotely comparable to VR or blockchain.

That's not true. People recognized it was smarter than ChatGPT before GPT-4 was officially revealed.

This is what I find the most surprising. I was under the impression that ChatGPT was still "research" and wouldn't be ready for prime time for a while. These rushed products that don't live anywhere near up to the hype seem like they will sour public opinion on it.

ChatGPT was released 5 months ago, although it seems very important, I don't think we can fairly asses its legacy in this short time.

It doesn't feel like a coincidence that this announcement is almost exactly one year after the release of ChatGPT.

ChatGPT wasn't surpassed by competitors in less than 6 months, what model would you say beat it that early?

That's because ChatGPT was able to sustain service past the point of mass adoption. You're not going to scale to millions of users in a short timespan with dedicated hardware.

That doesn't come from ChatGPT though, that comes from expectation of much more products in the future and the possibility of them beating Google.

Having played with it, it’s just not that good compared to ChatGPT.

What's the most interesting to me is that ChatGPT is not much better than Davinci has been recently. The hype is all down to the improved 1st party UI that mimicks a chat room. The old playground or API interfaces have a barrier to entry that's just enough to keep the magic hidden from the general population.

ChatGPT is still a novelty. People will kick tires etc but utility is just not there yet.

Just a year ago people were saying ChatGPT couldn't do what it's doing now.

ChatGPT's claim to fame is as bleeding edge tech, and it's squarely down that alley.

Yeah, I don’t think this tech is ready for production use at all right now. Great tech demo, not actually useful currently.

In contrast, I’ve been using chatGPT multiple times daily

When ChatGPT first arrived, it felt amazing and revolutionary. Since then it's been so neutered that while still feeling pretty cool, it's settling into gimmick level :( .

ChatGPT (3.5) is not state of the art

skybrian | karma 22817 | avg karma 2.5 · | 2023-01-21 10:57:08

ChatGPT is an impressive tech demo that hasn't resulted in any revenue, and it's not clear that it's better than what Google has internally.

We can try it, though, so it's great for publicity.

ChatGPT is more hardware than software. This would have been invented decades ago if the hardware existed.

It's just arrogant to name an era after your own product you haven't even released yet. Let it speak for itself. ChatGPT's release was far more humble and didn't need hyping up to be successful.
