I think GPT Chat and its competitors will eventually bring about a new golden age of online social interaction similar to the early internet days or perhaps pre-eternal September. It of course will be preceded by a very dark time where AI chat bots absolutely destroy all public forum though value extraction. Forums will have to become basically whitelist only to withstand the bots and require some sort of verified identity along with probably a dollar cost barrier maybe just one or the other. Kind of how the somethingawful.com forums used to have a one time $10 fee to make people consider if what they were posting was going to cost them $10 before hitting the submit button. (it cost $10 to reinstate your account if you were banned)
