Is ChatGPT The New MySpace?


Listen Later

Andrew Miles Davis draws on his own history working at MySpace during its peak to ask a question he has been chewing on in offline conversations for a while: is ChatGPT the new MySpace? He argues that large language models, however impressive, are fundamentally a stopgap technology that teaches people how to talk to AI, while the real shift everyone is actually waiting for is AI agents that take action rather than just give answers. Drawing parallels to MySpace's rapid rise from 2006 and equally rapid decline by 2009, he explores whether chatbots represent the first chapter of a much bigger story rather than the destination itself, and what that means for how businesses and individuals should be thinking about their AI strategy right now.
