You have never used chatGPT but you are convinced it hasn't taken the wind out of Marginalia's sails... I would suggest you try it so you can see their perspective as well? I get that your use case might be different, but I don't think we know if that is the main use case of most users.

Is it functionally any different to Bard? Because I've used that.
If so, my reasoning remains entirely unchanged.
Not at all. ChatGPT (I've never used it) seems to me to be about answering questions or generating some text.
But for me the real pleasure and enjoyment of the web in general is reading essays and posts with a persons individual voice, and organically exploring topics, skipping from one web-site to the next. In that regard, Marginalia is fast becoming for me an essential part of the web-experience, as much as Wikipedia or the Internet Archive is.
