I am constantly amazed that chat bots so completely capture imagination.

They have been, and will always be a hollow shell of interaction. Has social drive atrophied so much that many (most under 30?) prefer to talk to nothing instead of taking to someone?

ChatGPT does produce useful content right now. Maybe not necessarily information, but definitely boilerplate text and code. Also, a child can interact with it, no problem.

It might not be a social interaction, but it's really not hard to imagine that it has a lot of potential.
