Sure. Meanwhile ChatGPT is used everywhere in France, and it's now synonymous with AI for most people in Europe. Game over.

OpenAI has had significant up time issues. They don't seem to know how to run production services. Business cannot rely on them as a foundation to build upon. Their moat is quite thin and dry

  Well they are on Azure so....

Just like Netscape is synonymous with browser? Just 5 years ago DeepMind was at the forefront. AI tech is changing so fast who knows who will be ahead in the next 5 years?

  If Google product was ahead of the competition I would agree with you. But GPT is just miles away better than everything else, and it keeps getting better at a scary rate, especially because the feedback loop from so many users is making it better.

Except that ChatGPT is such a bad name for a product. I don't think Bard is much better but I don't think ChatGPT is going to be a household name.

  CatGPT is a better name than ChatGPT, perhaps that’s why it’s taking off (allegedly) in France.

    I think one of the reasons it's working so well here is because formal writing is still a big thing: - heavy administration - schools have a strong emphasis on essays - getting a job often implies writing a cover letter And since French is not easy, so many people find it to be a barrier to entry. While I love GPT for quickly giving me code snippets of things I would take minutes to come up with, my friends have this problem for the regular day-to-day language. I never noticed it before, because it's so natural to write to me, that I never have to think to hard to express anything. And because I've been a freelance for so long, doing formal writing is fluid. I know all the canned phrases by heart. The polite words to end the message. But I came to realize: they don't. As soon as I showed them chatgpt, their eyes light up. The killer feature for them was not the ability to answer complicated questions or save on search, nor was it the possibility of getting a summary. It was producing boring letter-like messages, with no typo.

      chatGPT is great to rewrite certain text in grammatically correct and simplify or make it more formal, etc.
