And the ChachiBT breakthrough
I remind people was not a scientific one.
It was an application one.
It was actually just a marketing breakthrough.
We took a product that had been available for almost six months publicly and put it into an AOL instant messenger.
And people said, oh my God, because the application is important in order to change behavior.
You cannot just say to people, ta-da,
unless it's very, very easy for them to understand why that matters.
And stage performers understand this.
The payoff has to make sense to the audience.
In fact, one of the most incredible problems that a lot of stage performers have, Cirque du Soleil, is that a lot of their tricks are so complex
The average audience member doesn't know.
And for many incredible stage performers, they actually have to modify their performance either to make it less impressive technically or to make it flashier than necessary in order for the audience to understand how hard it is that they are doing.
In other words, they have to create a laugh track.
They have to tell people, this is when you should applaud.
And ChatGPT is in many ways that problem.
GPT 3.5 was so impressive and so cool and people were like, who cares?
And so we said, here, we'll put it in a thing that you've used for dozens of years at this point, AOL Instant Messenger.
And then people were like, wow, this is it.
Now, the incredible thing about the timing of ChowGBT when it comes out on November 30th, 2022, is that it also happened to come out three months prior to GBT-4, which was the most groundbreaking technology.
