This is the main thing I'm curious about, as with any technology: fad or paradigm?
I can't see anything on Twitter anymore, but before that happened I think I hadn't seen many of the entertaining ChatGPT conversation screenshots anymore. That entertainment use case had the hallmarks of faddishness.
It seems far more useful as a productivity aid though, but as the OP discussed, I doubt the chat prompt UI is going to be the paradigm for that. Copilot is already mostly a more useful UI for me, and I suspect that's where this is headed, with a bunch of different specializations (and even more failed attempts).
