Add ChatGpT to your product, label ChatGPT as "myAI" and your product looks and works exactly same as 100,000 other things.
It makes my head spin to watch that lemming race to the bottom. Everyone is doing the same thing and no one thinks about what can be done against this insane downlevelling. No one thinks at all. Who suggested that suicidal tactic to you? ChatGPT? Microsoft?
@reichenstein Not sure if it's really a race to the bottom? It's definitely a shitty start. And I do get the reference you're making and don't believe that the venture is worth exploring or funding.
It sounds like the classic MVP startup problem. Show passion and something remotely working to investors, take tons of money, done.
So my answer to your question is: Silicon Valley
@reichenstein Ah ok. I'm thinking of #Nextcloud adopting AI assistants and Buffer here, for which I don't get why they believe this should be a 1st party feature. 🤷♂️
Do you believe there's a reason or utility to be had to dig further into finding a "why" that goes beyond "it's the current hype"? (I personally don't assume there is, but that might be cynical and lazy)
@ctietze Likely, AI can make whatever task your app offers possible without thinking. That goes hand in hand with the old UX mantra "Don't make me think".
People hate to think and offering something that seems to do it for us is a great sales proposition. Only artificial stress, the brother of thought, is a sweeter deal.
In some cases, like Photoshop, it's a blessing. In other cases, like ours (our apps are designed to make thinking as pleasurable as possible), it's straight away suicidal.
