Here’s an interesting real-time shift in language happening.
You just referred to these things as ‘chat apps’.
And that seems reasonable - they use a chat interface.
But they aren’t ‘chat apps’ as we would have understood them a few months ago. They don’t let you chat with people. They let you chat with an LLM.
