Pretty insane valuation. It may pay off, it may not. Google search was vastly superior to its competitors. I don't think ChatGPT has that kind of edge.
This is a monopoly kind of valuation where no monopoly exists. Its like paying Microsoft billions for Internet explorer.
Personally I believe the future of AI models is open-source. The application of these models will be the real revenue driver.
How would an average person even tell if ChatGPT was better than its competitors? Most people aren't running enough prompts every month to even care. Everyone knows ChatGPT and no one knows its competitors. It's going to stay like that.
I reach for ChatGPT, but if I’m on a Google property and they shove Gemini in my face, I use Gemini.
Memories are the biggest pull for me to keep coming back to ChatGPT, but I can’t imagine that’s a big moat.
