🥟 Chao Down # 10: Buzzfeed catches ChatGPT fever

Happy Friday! Yesterday, Buzzfeed, after laying off 12% of its staff, announced that they would be using ChatGPT and OpenAI tech to generate more of its trendy content causing the stock to more than double in a day. Whether this is genuine investor interest or just a short squeeze will be proven out over the next few days, but one thing is for sure: AI is coming.
