The AI hype bubble is the new crypto hype bubble
Ah I mean if you&#x27;re hell bent on not being impressed by ChatGPT you don&#x27;t have to be. Everyone&#x27;s entitled to their own opinions too. It&#x27;s already useful for those in certain roles, the only question is what&#x27;s the medium term situation with ChatGPT gonna be? It&#x27;s free, with a paid option for now. Is it going to get shut down? is it going to go pay-only? or go away and only be available as BingGPT? If you&#x27;re already using this for work (eg gptforwork.com) or play (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gamesplayedbadly.com&#x2F;2023&#x2F;02&#x2F;14&#x2F;create-your-own-dd-adventure-with-chatgpt-you-wont-believe-what-happens-next&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gamesplayedbadly.com&#x2F;2023&#x2F;02&#x2F;14&#x2F;create-your-own-dd-a...</a>), those are your real questions. Pundits and critics have a vested interest in predicting the future the way their readers want, but your time machine is as good as mine - it only goes 1 second per second and we&#x27;ll get to the future at the same time.<p>If your role doesn&#x27;t involve things ChatGPT would be useful for (eg you&#x27;re a blue collar carpenter), it doesn&#x27;t seem very useful, but neither do computers or the Internet, really. They still revolutionized the world though, so do you want to be a buggy whip manufacturer, or a computer (the job, mostly employing women, prior to the advent of the digital computer and auto calculating spreadsheets, who performed the math for spreadsheets at accounting firms)? Or do you want to at least be aware of incoming trends.<p>Crypto and web3 still has yet to have a clearly defined use case by anyone outside that industry. Meanwhile, anybody with a phone number can make an openAI account and try out ChatGPT. Some, like our carpenter, will walk away thinking it&#x27;s neat but ultimately useless. Others simply won&#x27;t be impressed, for whatever reason. Some will see immediate uses for it in their life and can&#x27;t live without it again. Don&#x27;t expect them to speak up about it either, they&#x27;re too busy using it to write emails and make plans to be bothered to convince the haters.
