Why would someone even go to WolframAlpha now if they can access it from ChatGPT and get a much better experience?
Now extrapolate that, and ChatGPT is all you need.
You will not even need photoshop, as you will be able to tell the chat agent to do what you want and re-generate the image.
Will everything be a chat interface soon?
Will voice then replace chat?
The problem wasn't the voice interface, the issue was that the tech behind it wasn't there, now it is starting to be, I wouldn't be surprised to see these voice assistants get back into the game within the next few years.
The web is currently built on advertising income, if that disappears or reduce massively, should we expect a lot of website to have to shutdown? Bing or ChatGPT would become the main way to access information, which would be an even more concentrated power than the current Google.
And the only way to make money in this context would be to sell products, or provide access to a data moat via an API. That's a radical shift from the current ad-based model.
Yes, that’s one option.
ChatGPT becoming like an AppStore. You pay them for usage of their interface + whatever actions/plug-ins you use.
Each plugin-provider gets paid according to their usage within ChatGPT.
There could also be an ad-supported version, free but you get ads or paid/commercial recommendations.
Yes, as SEO content becomes less valuable, those remaining will be creating for passion, like in the early days of the internet. Purely profit-driven ventures will move on.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
I definitely see a shift in the internet with things like this, I’m just not convinced it’s for the worse.
* Browsing
* Visual layout of complex information
* Interactive experiences
* Recent information
* Interactions with deterministic rules like non-trivial games or preserving state
* Data persistence
But LLMs are proving better than websites for:
* Extracting information and meaning from content
* Combining information from disparate sources
* Complex queries
* Generating content
But LLMs are catching up fast
Not if you have the HN plugin for chatgpt.
That's my personal nightmare. I hate chat interfaces for most things.
> Will voice then replace chat?
OK, that's even worse!
Seems like LLMs would be much better than those right out of the gate.
I will often use “chat with a person” over “call a person” if that is offered because it’s usually easier to be precise in chat and just copy-paste order numbers or whatever.
It's not the interface that is the issue, its the experience.
Users pay for ChatGPT -> OpenAI pays plugin developers for usage.
This incentivizes plugin developers to provide quality answers. Websites may still be required for full context or further interaction with the plugin developer.
It’s explaining how much gasoline or uranium a human would need to consume to survive based on caloric intake.
Garbage in -> Garbage out
But ChatGPT is making it a lot easier for most people to use almost any tool directly from the chat.
It’s almost like chat-based OS.
If it gives totally impractical answers that seems like a problem with the asker methinks.
Like, what would you do with the answer to “how many deciliters of flannel would it take to cover the earth?”
