It had a million users in its first week, it's impossible to call it "not innovative" because if it wasn't, someone would have already done it.

This is a case of "it's not my product, therefore it's a bit shit"

It might be using outdated tech (although I'm not sure what timescales we are working with to describe it as outdated) but it's 109%, by definition, innovative.

Haha, so true, but why do people think that one million users is a lot? Imagine if it were exciting as minions?

Lol

The whole 1 mill in 1 week is the fastest ever adoption of any technology ever. It got to the million user level before twitter, Facebook, YouTube, any of the social media platforms. So it's a pretty big deal in terms of investors.

Chatgpt is free. It's also very easy to pick up and put down. I can't wait for it to get implemented in video games..

Why is bitcoin number 1 by market cap? It's technology is arguably worse than other crypto coins.

Here's the definition of innovation

make changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products. "the company's failure to diversify and innovate competitively" introduce (something new, especially a product). "we continue to innovate new products"

By definition, if something is popular, it has to be innovative, people don't just en masse jump on the bandwagon of stuff that's been done for years.

Innovation != useful

If your innovation isn't useful in the real world, it's not even really an innovation.

Popular innovation = useful innovation.

You build a combustion engine, it is impossible to mass produce, and only 3 people have them.

I take your engine and make one that is simpler and easier to mass manufacture and cheaper to produce. Yours might be better, more innovative, but mine is the only one that's actually useful to society.
