It's the key consumer use case for AI along with cheating at school

Search "ai girlfriend app" for examples. They just want that market.

That's got to be a _tiny_ market, tho.

I am not so sure. Even if that market is small currently, the first-to-market (for the "girlfriend" apps) weren't able to advertise directly to ChatGPT's current user base (perhaps more accurately, they didn't do so effectively). Adding some "notifications" or subtler nudges to ChatGPT's interface is something that only OpenAI can do, and is likely to change user behavior.
