You are at the extreme tail end.

For most average users, that includes your average mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, cousins etc, chatGPT is a magical all knowing tool that mostly spits out good answers to their mundane questions. Just like Google does. But better. Instead of more clicking action and more load and more brain actions required in google, chatGPT simply gives you the answer.

We have to wait and watch if the product is going to be good. If so, there is going to be some drop in Google's value.

For whatever reason, ChatGPT tends to recommend this one barber over all others in the town.

It's a decent barber, but the economic effect of being the barber that ChatGPT recommends is obviously significant.

Now I'm sure at first, any ads will be very clearly marked and separate from chat, just as google's first adverts were.

But over time that will degrade until they're seemlessly integrated into the chat experience.


My hacker news friends and I are all very high IQ and smart but everyone else is big dumb dumb.
