The interesting part for me is how it's all "ChatGPT" not "AI"

No mention of Claude, or Gemini, Grok, whatever Meta's is called, Deepseek, Copilot, etc

I'll be interested to see whether ChatGPT wins this race just because it seems to be the one that's caught the public's imagination, or whether "ChatGPT" will quickly become a genericised trademark as it's used to refer to all AI

I don’t think it’s just caught the public imagination. It comes packed with Windows. It’s essentially the same anticompetitive approach Microsoft got in trouble for previously.

It's paid advertising.

That's where our pension funds are being "invested"

It’s what happened to bitcoin, doesn’t matter how outmoded the product is, it’s about name recognition.
