But I did not ask "what was the sixth most visited website in the world right now?", did I? I asked what was the killer app here. I am afraid vague and un-related KPIs will not help here, otherwise we may as well compare ChatGPT and PornHub based on the number of visits, as you seem to suggest.

Are you saying PornHub isn’t a killer app?

Well in the AI space definitely not...

If the now default go-to source for quick questions and formulating text isn't a killer app in your eyes, I don't know what is.

Not killer enough to warrant trillions of dollars valuation that the VC money are looking for here.

The VCs have already burnt on the order of 200B USD, to generate about 10B operating income, within the total "industry" (source: The Information). It will be interesting when some of them start asking about the returns.

I already know how to read, write and think by myself, so no - that is not a killer app. Especially when it produces wrong answers with an authoritative attitude.

Then it's not a killer app for you. Doesn't stop it from being so for many others.
