ChatGPT is the 5th most-visited website on the planet and growing quickly. that’s one of many popular products. Hardly call that unwilling. I bet only something like 8% of Instagram users say they would pay for it. Are we to take this to mean that Instagram is an unpopular product that is rbi g forced on an unwilling public?

If I want to use ChatGPT I will go and use ChatGPT myself without a middleman. I don't need every app and website to have it's own magical chat interface that is slow, undiscoverable and makes the stuff up half the time.

I actually quite like the AI-for-search use case. I can't load all of a company's support documents and manuals into ChatGPT easily; if they've done that for me, great!

I was searching for something on Omnissa Horizon here: https://docs.omnissa.com/

It has some kind of ChatGPT integration, and I tried it and it found the answer I was looking for straight away, after 10 minutes of googling and manual searching had failed.

Seems to be not working at the moment though :-/
