It's generating a lot of buzz.

The only conceivable way would be to invoke change at the source. You would need to influence or infiltrate the highest powers involved in the decision making there. Since this would require you to be a industry relevant billionaire and it can't be done with politics especially when payoffs are involved, good luck is all I can say. But I'm just a philosopher, not a miracle worker.

This however does not mean one should trespass on an orchard and stick one's titties in a beehive.

America and others should give tax credits for R&D and penalties for advertising and stock buybacks.

It's great for sales copy and writing socmed posts catered to the platform. Has saved me lots of hours "hand crafting" that crap.
I know of many authors using it for research, to create book outlines, blurbs, marketing copy, and style editing, which is saving thousands of hours overall. Is it "writing books"? Absolutely not, and anyone who has used it to help with their creative writing can attest to that. I hear ChatGPT4 is better at writing cohesive short drafts of chapters but I haven't used it yet. Even though output still needs a lot of editing for voice and polish, it's saving time, and time is money.

I was not aware of that, thx just assumed we would get better similar to how cyberpunk 2077 had different medicines.

Because it's not profitable. The industries make the most money from sick people who don't get better

Really? There is an amazing amount of research going on every day all over the world. Rightfully it takes a lot of time and testing to bring new therapies to mainstream use. Go back just 20 years and look at how far things have come, immunotherapy, gene therapy, hpv immunisation to eradicate cervical cancer, better diagnosis, screening and drugs.

We have been, it's just been very slow and you don't hear much about small steps with everything else going on.

The USA loses 250-600 Billion dollars in IP theft every year to China.
Remember Segway? They started manufacturing plant in China, which stole their IP and made hoverboards with LEDs and a million other things and they were so wildly successful in the knockoffs that when Segway sued them for blatant IP theft, they decided to just buy Segway. Proof (Segway bought by Ninebot.)

I also use the literal Chinese Propaganda arm of the CCP as a trusted source of information. I don't understand why these kinds of posts are even allowed.

I think this is similar to asking “Stack Overflow just came out. Have any developers actually made any profitable businesses with it?”
Except whereas Stack Overflow applies to developers, ChatGPT applies to more or less everything.

I use it for recipes lol. It’s replaced google for a lot of my general searches, once it can also provide links and images like google it’s over google being a search engine imo

What I find funny is that my comment had 38 upvotes when I checked a day ago, and now a day latter it shows 16. I wonder who had bots downvoting? Hmm...?

I’ve used it for cover letters for jobs, it says exactly what I want to say and I can always add and make changes that I think fit me

So much excel help. I mean when you google something, it simply does not come out right. You can't be like 'hey google, how can I make a formula that will look at a cell, read it, and then look for that information in other cells; this is the specific error that I get when using this method: ---'
That'll just not happen. Also for the basics of things I don't understand. You cannot ask a website to further explain itself, or to paraphrase.
It should be treated as a friend that knows alot, not like a search engine.

I asked it to write a trading algo, which I gave a very small amount of money to. So far it’s up slightly, but it’s making trades it generally holds for several days, so it’s much too soon to really say whether it’ll outperform the market over time.
