> this is not a serious company with serious people building an important long-lived product. This is a group of snake oil salesmen But that’s obviously not a fair description either, because they have the world-leading product in an intensely competitive field that does stuff nobody would have thought possible five years ago. The marketing is obviously massive hyperbole bordering the ridiculous, but the idea that they haven’t produced something deeply serious and important is also ridiculous, to me. The only (gigantic, huge, fatal—perhaps) problem they have at the moment is that their moat seems to only consist of a short head start over the competition.

But is it world leading? https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/chatgpt-vs-google-gemini/ https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/chatgpt-vs-g... Gemini won this one in September. It won another one I read in March. I just use Gemini for free.

The whole industry is full of snake oil salesmen. Do you really think this [2] is not a hype bubble waiting to be turned into a tell-all docuseries? They have produced something impactful sure, but I don't think their product is a tenth as valuable or "intelligent" as they are claiming it to be. There are too many domain-specific tools that are far superior to whatever pseudo-intelligence you get from chatgpt... what proof do we have that any industry has found material value from this chatbot?
