I am surprised how quickly the HCI researchers jumped on chatgpt / prompt engineering.

  they are chasing that research funding money

    Sadly I think this is a significant part of it. It is so very hard to convince anyone in CS to fund unsexy projects. I think the majority of innovation on the unsexy things happens internally at the large tech companies.

    Or maybe their chasing it because it's a highly relevant topic that might impact lots of people around the world, you know, a kind of human-computer interaction.

      Just the response I would expect from an academic. Universities are charity-businesses with an educational interest.

  Perhaps they could learn something about HCI from ChatGPT...?

  Why? Natural language interaction with computers is like the holy grail of human-computer interaction, of course they jumped on it.

  As someone in the field, trust me when I say there's going to be a big wave of HCI research that will pretty much just be "What can we glue ChatGPT to?"

    Seems to be every technical field, both academic and industry…
