When the world wide web was created it was empty.
The world wide web was built as people built websites that connected to other websites.
AI such as ChatGPT will grow in a similar way. Instead of websites being built, people will create verified facts, observations, and new ideas. The more the AI knowledge bases are filled, the better the output.
With AI being able to parse massive data sets, the results are going to grow exponentially. There are 10 billion people that can feed the AI.
AI was created as a tool and as people contribute to the tool it will continue to evolve and become more powerful.
