Why does ChatGPT matter?

People always get excited about AI advances and this one is accessible in a way that others weren’t in the past.
People can use natural language to prompt a natural language response.
It’s seductive because it feels like synthesis.
And it can feel serendipitous.

The current craze about prompt engineering.
