Most of my students struggle to organise or bookmark the hundreds of pages they've created using ChatGPT. It gets messy. Some copy & paste everything into Google Docs. Others use custom apps or save the shareable URLs in their browser or text files, even though those links sometimes disappear over time.
The problem is, ChatGPT wasn't designed to be a proper writing or word processor tool. It treats messages as disposable, not like saved documents you can return to, structure, or modify easily.
Feels strange watching an organisation of this size and scale (monetarily speaking) that seems to have no real clear idea on what product they want to deliver/or think would be a useful output essentially vibeproduce based on incomplete assumptions of how their users currently engage with their widget.
Is this actually the best use of their skilled team’s time? I have little knowledge in this space but the answer seems like no to me. Maybe low hanging fruit?
This is an interesting idea, and I wonder if it could be a response to some of the increasingly reported 'brain rot' experiences with AI usage. There are things that I opt not to use ChatGPT for because I know it will be harmful to my long/medium-term mental capacity. Being able to use it in a mode that is actively designed to facilitate thinking rather than bypass it could be useful.

it feels like they'll be the lead paint of the 2020s that the survivors in 2050 fixate on as a cause of human intelligence collapse.
I worry how these who love to write will get thru the system?

Fascinating and wild
