It is quite common for the Internet to evolve by fashion or by key ideas. As far back as I can remember, I’ve seen many fads that have come and gone like a sugar cube. Graphene, 3D printers, the metaverse or virtual reality are some examples. It will be the artificial intelligence and ChatGPT a distraction until next fashion?
The fact that he talks about fashion means that these are irrelevant topics or things, on the contrary. I talk about these elements because they are things that have been talked about a lot and have become niches. 3D printers are still used by many people, but it seemed like we were all going to get one (or at least that’s how it was sold) and it’s not like that.
There was a rush to create a metaverse, now to put ChatGPT in everything
For months everyone had to use the metaverse tomorrow and get into Web3. The company Facebookin a demonstration of going too far, changed its name to Meta. But, the ridicule of Zuckerberg’s company was enormous when presenting his metaverse which looked like a copy of Animal Crossing
There virtual reality This was going to be the future of computer and console gaming, and in the end, it ended up being something very niche. The high cost of glasses and the cost of the necessary equipment make them inaccessible. Something like this happened with 3D on televisions and computers, which were supposed to be the future and came to nothing.
Artificial intelligence has become trendy now, thanks to ChatGPT. This tool, to which you ask a question and which answers you in a “consistent” way, is revolutionizing the Internet. Of course, this is far from an optimal reality, showing many failures or giving not very correct answers.
There is a brutal rush to integrate this tool everywhere, when it is not necessary. Microsoft wants integrate it in his Trash locatorg, there are even rumors about future integration into Windows. May use ChatGPT now from WhatsApp, among other integrations that still don’t make much sense.
Everything indicates a simple temporary fashion before the arrival, in 2-3 years, of a new “disruptive” technology. And it is that it will happen, sooner or later, “forgetting” this revolutionary technology that has fallen by the wayside.
Time stretches on the internet
A minute in reality, in many cases, can equal a month on the Internet. We can see how within minutes something irrelevant becomes trending on Twitter and after hours nobody remembers it. It also happens with other things, like interest.
The reality is that ChatGPT is a passing trend, in general. It can be embedded in many sites, giving many applications, but it will remain diffused in the background. It will go from being the center of attention on the internet to staying indoors, something else entirely. There will come a day when no one will remember or hear of its existence, like HD-DVD, SSHD, “eee PC” or like NVIDIA 3D Vision.
There are always new technologies that replace old ones or are simply forgotten because they didn’t interest many people. Artificial intelligence is really a fad, which will then be integrated into many sites and generates indifference. Also, many smartphones have AI features, especially in the camera and does anyone care?
