    Chatbots? Is that it? That’s what all the hype is about?

    Hardly seems like a multi-billion dollar industry.

      It’s just the start though. It’s going to spread to any and every thing they can think of. When’s the last time a corporation said “Naw, that’s off limits. We can’t in good conscience monetize that.”

        That’s what I’m asking. What else will it “spread” to?

        When’s the last time a corporation said “Naw, that’s off limits. We can’t in good conscience monetize that.”

        I didn’t realize this was an ethical discussion?

          It has already spread to image and audio generation and manipulation. It has also spread to automated decision making in financial firms.

            Yeah, once again I don’t see a financial opportunity there.

              You don’t see a financial opportunity in delivering tools to dramatically speed up the creation of emails, reports, presentations, boilerplate graphics, etc?

              Tell me you’ve never held a corporate job without telling me you’ve never held a corporate job.

              There are people who literally live in Word and Excel every day. For them these tools could be life changing.

              And that’s just one obvious userbase.

                Ah yes, we’ve reached the derogatory insult part of the discussion.

                That’s the part where I bow out. 🖕

                  Looks like you were in search of an exit and you found it. You’re whole argument seemed to consist of “no” which would be responded to with more explanation to support their assertion, which you’d again respond “no” to. How many goes round did you think it would last?

                  Seriously though, if that was an insult/derogatory, i don’t know how long you’re gonna last here or anywhere on the Internet, tbh.

                    Ah yes it’s always my favorite thing to be insulted on the internet.

                    I’ve lasted about 20 years so far. Mostly by refusing to engage with people who resort to personal insults when they run out of explanations.
