I don't really agree that much with this idea, "..any fundamental advances beyond...", ok, technically chatGPT is just somewhat a reshuffle of pretty well known models, but the implementation is king, always. And first, some weeks ago you have all these powerful secret models behind corporate firewalls, inside some secure lab, now most of those owners are rushing to reshuffle their respective models to catch on with chatGPT and now with Bing + chatGPT. Hence, the implementation is what did the trick, the tech was there for sometime already (more than a year? I'll ask chatGPT). And now other public facing applications of this technology are on the table too. Because, the rabbit is out the hat already, if you don't use your technology, somebody else will have the upper hand in other reachable markets, just like Microsoft is now running away a good million miles ahead of the rest of the Search market competitors.
