> The core of why ChatGPT works as a product isn't the AI. It's the experience of each word being typed one at a time by the AI and saving your conversations with the AI for later.

Really loved this article overall, but I have to super-disagree here. The core of ChatGPT is you can have a conversation with a computer program.

Take away saving history and you can still have a conversation with a computer program (see ephemeral chats).

Take away typing one word at a time and you still have a conversation with a computer program (see non-streaming API / batch API).

But major props for writing this live on a twitch stream, benefit of the doubt there my friend.
