I bet we're going through the cycle netflix went through.
Cable was fractured and expensive, then netflix made it cheap and monolithic, then everyone realized there was money to be made in this new paradigm, then there was a legal fight over usage rights, then it got split up and partitioned into a bunch of different services, the combined cost of which is pretty expensive and individually each service kind of sucks.
So I'm betting we're a few years away from stackoverflow, wikipedia, imdb, goodreads?, etc all having their own ai interfaces.
Fine by me. chatgpt is a way better user experience than stackoverflow, and I'd probably use the wikipedia one, don't really care about anything else. It being an "anything tool" is kind of a novelty, I liked that I could make it "write an advertisement for a housecat in the style of a ford truck commercial, and use plenty of made up trademarks and patents for normal cat behaviors/features", but then lost interest when it refused to do the same thing for boobs.
