My 70+ year old mom has been talking about ChatGPT these last 2 weeks as if she were a fanboy (I think she absolutely loves the sound of the name), she wouldn't know if she had Edge open and doesn't know that one can use browser tabs.
When asked if she tried it, she not only didn't even realize that it was accessible to her, but didn't even bother to register to actually try it.
If Microsoft is smart about it, they call it "Microsoft Search with ChatGPT", do their "we'll place you a shortcut on your desktop without asking"-thing with an icon named "ChatGPT" which launches Edge even if Chrome or FFX is the default, and shows the "Microsoft Search with ChatGPT" page with an auto-submitted question like "If animals could talk, which species do you think would be the funniest to have a conversation with and why?".
Let them ask a few questions and finally ask them if they want to set Edge as their new default browser.

- qwertox 4y agoI believe Chachipiti sounds like something a little girl could say over and over again during the day. Another interesting thing is that she calls Google's recommendation engine "Adam". It's "Adam" who selects the photos which get shown in "this day a year ago" and other automatically generated collections. "Adam" is what makes Google smart for her, the restless data collector and invader of privacy.

- zht 4y agomaybe she's just being excited about it because it's something she can talk and relate to you about?
