> Aren't millions or even tens of millions students using ChatGPT for example? To me that sounds like a commercial success

I read somewhere that OpenAI brought in $3.7 billion in 2024, and made a loss of $6 billion. So... no I don't think that is an example. They want to make a commercially successful product, but ChatGPT doesn't seem to be there yet.

> And enterprise-wise - heard recently a VP complaining about entering expenses. As we don't have secretaries anymore in the civilized world, that means "Agents AI" is going to have a blast.

We don't have secretaries because the word became unfashionable. They are called PAs or executive assistants or something like that now. They're still there, but if anything the need for them has probably been reduced with (non-AI) computers (calendars, contacts, emails, electronic documents, etc.) so I'm not sure that there is some enormous unmet demand for them.
