Even the developers of OpenAI did not expect the success of ChatGPT. The system can hardly cope with the onslaught and keeps putting users off because the servers are overloaded. Even beyond the IT crowd, interest is huge. So it’s no wonder that investors are pumping billions into development to be part of the “next big thing”.
Numerous start-ups have been infected by the current AI boom and are hoping for quick money. Almost every day new websites appear that offer some kind of AI service for a monthly subscription fee. Free tools – if they are any good – are overrun by locusts, so that their servers soon hardly respond from all the requests. AI-generated texts need computing time, and that doesn’t come for free: you either pay for them with data or with money.
Since intelligent text generators start writing on any topic, they are booming in sectors that are primarily aimed at mass appeal and increasing reach: among PR people and influencers. They dream of personalized mass emails and automatically generated tweets and blog posts that address each potential customer individually. It doesn’t matter that much if the generators only hallucinate some statements and cannot back them up with concrete sources.
