Imagine being able to have a language conversation about anything with a computer. This is now possible and available to many people for the first time with ChatGPT. In this episode we take a look at the consequences and some interesting insights from Open AI’s CEO Sam Altman.

It’s notable how different using ChatGPT feels. The simplicity of typing a request into a box and receiving a thoughtful, written response – unencumbered by images, advertisements, and other links – is compelling. From a pure interface design standpoint, OpenAI’s platform feels like a liberating throwback, a return to simplicity and clarity.

ChatGPT is not scraping the web and returning a response. Its AI is “thinking” and creating content it believes answers your question. Whether this is the job of a search engine is another matter, but it is undeniably useful for circumstances in which original content like a code snippet, blog post, email draft, or social media post is valuable.&nb
