Blimey, this is big! But I wonder, how will this affect our local job market, especially for young people in the provinces?
Wah, this news about ChatGPT overtaking Netflix really hits close to home in Singapore. Just a little while ago, everyone was all in on streaming, but now you see folks everywhere, from students to execs, fiddling with AI tools. It's not just a passing fad; it’s genuinely changing how we approach problem-solving and even creative work. My mates in fintech are constantly exploring how to incorporate this tech, and even our government’s pushing for AI literacy. It's quite mind-boggling how quickly things accelerate here, though sometimes I wonder if we’re always ready for the societal shifts that come with such rapid adoption.
This is fascinating! I'm curious, considering how quickly AI evolves, what specific advancements since this piece was written have further cemented ChatGPT's lead, especially in Southeast Asia? Are we seeing more real-world, localized applications beyond the initial hype?
