I would like to have online multiplayer version of Jenga game based on these mechanics

In one of the WhatsApp communities I belong to, I noticed that some people use ChatGPT to express their thoughts (probably asking it to make their messages more eloquent or polite or whatever).

Others respond in the same style. As a result, it ends up with long, multi-paragraph messages full of em dashes.

Basically, they are using AI as a proxy to communicate with each other, trying to sound more intelligent to the rest of the group.

This is the most impressive thing I've seen in years.

zavgon Fast

Pavel Durov (founder of Telegram) totally nailed this concept.

He pays special attention to the speed of application. The Russian social network VK worked blazingly fast. The same is about Telegram.

- maybe more fancy way to present information (not sure if it is feasible to implement). Currently just a text snippet and image do not seem like super engaging.

I am assuming that lots of things will be automated (maybe even using AI). Like the legal things, support, payment processing and so on.
