ChatGPT surpassing Netflix in monthly visits, eh? I remember when everyone was saying blockchain was going to be the new internet. User visits don't always translate to long-term value or truly essential integration, especially with these general-purpose tools. We'll see how many of those 1.67 billion are just kicking the tires.

it's cool to see ChatGPT pass Netflix, but i always wonder how much of that is English content. for Vietnamese NLP, we're still so far from those numbers, even for basic tools. it's a different world.

The ChatGPT over Netflix numbers are crazy but not unexpected. We've seen similar shifts in how people access info internally; everyone wants to just ask a bot now rather than dig through docs. Still, we're finding a lot of governance issues with rolling out internal GPTs. The data privacy bits are a headache.

seeing ChatGPT outpace Netflix in user visits really makes you think about how we're designing these AI interactions for daily use. it's not just about features, but how these tools fit into people's actual lives. are we considering the sustained appeal, or just the initial novelty? especially for tools becoming so integral.
