Chatgpt is just Cortana with better marketing. AI isn't smart, it's just algorithms producing a facsimile of language via pattern heatmaps. What was Cortana if not just an earlier version of the same thing?

""AI"" is all a techbro marketing bubble. Will burst and move on eventually.

Like holy shit we had the autofill feature in Photoshop ages and ages ago and that's just doing what the "intelligent" image generators do. We didn't call it AI back then. All marketing for what amounts to just some interesting algorithms.

Well no, not really IMO. Cortana as far as I know wasn't based on LLMs as we know them today, it was a way older method of NLP. You're right that on a high level it's pretty similar but the underlying technology is qualitatively different IMO.
