Well, it did what it needed to do already. I think a lot of folks like myself were aware of what OpenAI was doing, but not necessarily aware of how good it had gotten. Within a week of seeing what ChatGPT was doing, I was making little prototypes using their API. I'm sure I'm not unique in that, and I expect there to be an explosion of AI driven software over the next 6 months to a year. This stuff has gotten good enough and easy enough to use that almost anyone could learn the AI part over night. You still have to be able to make the rest of the software, and you have to have a vision for some kind of product that leverages the AI, but actually integrating the AI into a familiar framework is trivially easy.
Costs will surely go down over time too. Right now it's probably like a penny per chat interaction going by the API costs and it wouldn't be too many doublings in GPU efficiency before that would get to the point that it could be ad supported or something.
