I feel like everyone was jumping at the bit for x, y, z technologies to be the best big ground floor thing, then chatGPT came along, the x,y,z techs were getting hit hard the past year by bad luck, regulatory concerns, etc, and now that people lost their asses on that they're afraid ai will be the same, except I never really got value from nft, Blockchain, etc.... most people I know don't even know what all that is (non tech people, anyways).

I know plenty of computer barely literate people who use chatGPT and other generative ai tools daily.

The biggest problems I see though are openai and Microsoft essentially competing with people using the API to create products. If you build an app using openai and they add every feature that sets your app apart, you might as well throw in the towel. investors who bought into your startup when you thought there was a moat will lose.
