There was another comment I recall from today, discussing how OpenAI is not-so-subtly adopting a social-network-esque model, in how it's fine-tuned its chat system to always suggest another question that the user might want to ask.

And the gacha gaming industry knows exactly how to monetize this kind of trained instinct in a userbase. One might even call it a sense of pride and accomplishment...

(But, to my larger point, if agentic harnesses can offer their LLMs a source of reputable input tokens from professional content providers, as an alternative to just more token back-and-forth with the model provider... that harness can at least direct some of that money towards producers of well-researched content.)

There’s that, but it could also be adaptation to the fact users… just don’t know what to do with it.

Just like the prompt suggestions they added for new conversations a little time after releasing the first app. Those seem to be mostly gone now, at least on mobile.
