I remember hearing OpenAI, what was known as an AI safety research company, releasing a chat interface for GPT 3 called ChatGPT. I was very interested in AI research and remember AI Dungeon using GPT 2 then GPT 3, and figured I’d get around to trying ChatGPT at some point.
Suddenly it was in every headline, radical promises of the future were being made left and right. Eventually I heard ChatGPT mentioned on a gas station advertisement screen for a travel app using it; that’s when I fully realized my niche interest was now permanently in the public eye, where even tech illiterate people getting gas were going to hear about these AI models.

It was and is so insanely over-hyped. It’s just so absurdly rediculous at this point.
