>Something similar will happen here. Today, recipes on Chatgpt are to the point. Tomorrow, they might start adding affiliate links to the ingredients. A year from now, the experience won't be any better than what you currently have on Google.
Correct me if I've misinterpreted your comment but it appears you're suggesting that rather than use something that is a superior product in more than one factor, you're advocating for using a product that is terrible in many factors just because... The superior product might get worse... Eventually...
Blind loyalty to a corporation no matter how terrible they make my experience and abuse my trust isn't really something I'm desperate to cling on to. There is a thirst for ChatGPT for a reason.
Nothing is stopping OpenAI from pulling all the same anti-consumer behaviour that Google pulls today, but then the field is wide open for someone to come along and pull a ChatGPT on them, and the cycle continues.
- rchaud 4y agoI'm not advocating for Google at all, they have written the book on how to ruin a good thing with greed. OpenAI will use the same playbook, and possibly more rapidly than Google did. If anything, I'm advocating for a perspective on technology that goes beyond dunking on incumbents because the newer, sleeker thing has arrived. Look at the economics of this industry and the motives of the market entrants; the new thing is only a donut or two or away from turning into the same bloated mess as those it sought to replace.
