anecdotal, but my wife wasn't interested in switching to claude from chatgpt. as far as she's concerned chatgpt knows her, and she's got her assistant perfectly tuned to her liking.

ChatGPT is to AI as Facebook is to social media. OpenAI captured a significant number of users due to first-mover advantage, but that advantage is long gone now.

And Facebook only makes money because it is essentially just an advertising platform. Same with Google. It's fundametally just ads.

The only way OpenAI can survive is to replicate this model. But it probably doesn't have the traffic to pull it off unless it can differentiate itself from the already crowded competition.

Ads make sense in an AI search engine product like Perplexity. ChatGPT could try to make a UI like that.

But the thing is, the world already has an AI search engine. It's called Google, and it's already heavily integrated with Gemini. Why would people switch?

1. ChatGPT would be MySpace as the first mover. 2. Facebook has insane lock in: your entire graph of friends and family.

Same situation over here. Multiple family members only know chatgpt / think that chatgpt knows them and have never heard of the competitors.

this is my horror as well. I don't mind my youtube account to be blocked but what about all the recommendations that I have curated to my liking. It will be huge chunk of lost time to rebuild and insert my preferences into the algorithm. increasingly "our preferences shaped by time and influences and encounters both digital and offline" are as much about us as we are physically.

You could ask GPT for what it knows about you and use it to seed your personal preferences to a new model/app. Not perfect and probably quite lossy, but likely much better than starting from scratch.

I have no YouTube account, and it can figure out my viewing history with just watching a few of my favorite channels usually... including specific videos I watched years ago.

So I wouldn't worry about it.

You can "transport" this brain/cortex by just asking the AI to export itself and what it knows in a format another AI would understand as import.
