| The benefit is "Distribution". If your users are there, you want to address them wherever they already are, this is why apple store / play store / amazon store ... are so popular. Becoming a platform / ecosystem is the common playbook to go from being a one product company to an ecosystem / platform worth a lot more |

| ▲ | simianwords 4 days ago | parent [-] | | you get chatgpt | | |
| ▲ | WhyOhWhyQ 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Who cares if chatgpt can write my essay if writing my essay is no longer worth doing? Do you think programming Doom from scratch in 2025 would give the programmer the same sense of satisfaction and material security as it did in the 90's? Maybe technology progressing actually devalues the rewards for your outputs? And saying "chatgpt" is pretty rich considering it's not at all clear at this point whether the societal benefits outweigh the negatives. | | |

| ▲ | WhyOhWhyQ 4 days ago | parent [-] | | And..? People also hate ChatGPT even if you don't. Do you think everyone in the world thinks exactly the same way as you do or something? Some people actually enjoy exerting their talents to create things. | | |
| ▲ | simianwords 4 days ago | parent [-] | | That’s the good part! Sam Altman provides ChatGPT for people who like it | | |
| ▲ | WhyOhWhyQ 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Sam Altman provides ChatGPT for everybody. You seem not to be reading what I've written. |
