   It's more than just a chatterbot. (I do remember getting fooled     
   by some BBSes that had chatbots to think you were chatting with     
   the sysop.)   
      
   But I take back my remark about ChatGPT replacing Google. As is     
   sits now, Google basically collects the aggregate of a variety     
   of sources for searches, and YOU decide where you want to go.      
   But ChatGPT's answers are most likely sourced from one-sided     
   pre-established sources.   
      
   "GPT" stands for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer"   
      
   I only watched two videos on how a typical UI session works.      
   Very interesing.  Apparently you can ask it full questions and     
   continue the process with related questions to fine-tune an     
   answer.  It can even write or correct code, or write college     
   essays, etc.   
      
   I can't believe how large its userbase has grown in such a     
   short time.  I'm guessing that most people just it for     
   entertainment and see how it handles controversial topics.   
      
   OpenAI might be a stock to watch though.
