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.
