For context, this is something that took Instagram       two and a half months to do. It took Twitter two years to hit one million       users. And it took Netflix three and half years before it attracted a million       users.        AA> So ChatGPT blew everybody out of the water on that metric.        AA> ChatGPT gets to 100 million users in just two months.        AA> This is the fastest software application adoption in history. Even       Instagram took two and a half years to attract 100 million users.        AA> Of course, there are immense implications here.        AA> Just last week, OpenAI launched its $20 a month subscription program for       ChatGPT.        AA> Microsoft now owns somewhere around 75% of OpenAI.        AA> I've watched a few YT vids about it and what it looks like. Seems       interesting. It also seems that if could replace Google searches for info.              ChatGPT reminds me of an old program for the TRS-80 called Elisa.              --- tg BBS v0.7.1        * Origin: Fido by Telegram BBS from Stas Mishchenkov (2:460/256)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/0 16/0 19/10 37 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/130       SEEN-BY: 123/131 124/5016 129/305 132/174 142/104 153/757 7715 154/10       SEEN-BY: 203/0 218/700 221/0 1 6 360 226/30 227/114 229/110 111 112       SEEN-BY: 229/113 114 206 307 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 664 700 230/0       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 282/1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/119 219 319 2119 322/0 757 326/101       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 460/58 256 1124 5858       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 5053/58 5054/30       PATH: 460/256 58 280/464 221/1 320/219 229/426           |
