Machine Learning was well-known (it’s another form of AI), so the idea that generative AI, in this case, ChatGPT would take off (even though Gen AI was already out there), definitely a surprise. And the idea that it is private generation ai, is a misnomer. Once While I see a lot of pluses it is still missing some items.
