And ChatGPT still does lets me do less today than Zombo.com let me do in 1999.

You could do ANYTHING at zombo.com, if I remember correctly. At zombo.com, anything was possible. EDIT: There is one limit at zombo.com. The limit is myself.

Between purchasing chat.com, and this new 800 number, I sometimes feel like OpenAI is really channeling that 90s dot com era energy.

Controversial take: LLMs are the first time in a while that I have felt like emerging technology trends is doing something cool and adding value. For the past 8-10 years it has all felt like a bunch of apps that just aim to be mediocre middlemen/gig economy brokers with bad customer service.

Isn't this the new LLM playbook?

chatGPT: ~ This may be recorded...

chatGPT: ~ You agree to openai terms and conditions...

Me: What's the square root of two?

chatGPT: What number do you want to know the square root of?

Me: Two

chatGPT: The square root of ten is approximately 3.1...

If they wanted to show how very non-understanding and un-intelligent chatGPT is, they are doing a great job. So much quicker to see in a voice interaction than through online query submissions.

I’m all for it! Maybe they’ll start auctioning off pixels on openai.com.

If you’re quick, you might be able to grab a 88x31 spot!

Memories of GOOG411! And probably same purpose of this. (1) (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOOG-411

I'm also reminded of TellMe. [0]

In the days before we had pocket supercomputers, I used both of these services occasionally while out and about.

OpenAI acquisition/synergizing/rebrand to zombo.com incoming and then we'll complain about them ruining Zombo.

And now we will have mediocre middlemen/gig economy brokers with bad customer service performed by AI agents that you can summarize with chatgpt and automatically reply back to. Progress!!

Feels like something Google would do in the early days, but not now.

Nothing new under the sun
