In future, we'll see fewer generic AI chatbots like ChatGPT and more specialised ones that are tailored to our needs.

Training AI systems with more focused data sets can target them to a specific use.

tailored to their corporation's needs
- No these models are out there now. The more specialized, the less likely you need huge computing or graphical power. The corporations have realized bigger isn't better.
  
  I think you did not get the point.
Yep, makes sense. You don’t want a researcher using the same tool as a lawyer or fiction writer. The researcher needs AI to summarize existing literate in a factual way, the lawyer needs to source actual cases, while the writer needs novel combinations of existing literary ideas. A single tool isn’t going to meet all those needs.
- A single tool isn't going to meet all those needs yet
  
  Why would we want one? We don’t have a single social media tool: forums, link aggregators, micro blogging, networking, etc. are all separate tools. We wouldn’t want to do all of those on Facebook.
  
  ChatGPT is just a demo of a technology that can be used for all sorts of cool things. Trying to make ChatGPT do it all isn’t really needed nor desirable.
  
  That's literally their point. You have a specialised tool for each.
  
  Being general makes them much harder to train and worse at each individual task.
My main issue with using the general chatbot is that it's an incredibly inefficient way to convey information. For writing tasks I essentially need to type most of the answer first to get reasonable outputs when considering my actual constraints.

More specialized tooling will have these constraints built-in, which will increase productivity.

Even if we have the perfect general chatbot, it's still a lot of work to concisely describe your requirements to it.
- Chatbots are only useful for displaying FAQs answers. In all other situations getting in contact with a real human is the only way to attempt to get a resolution
This is where I think AI has the power to really increase productivity. General-purpose AIs are nice, but having one that knows the current status of projects, learns the people you talk to frequently and your tone, and has access to all your company's internal documentation would

Instead of digging around in Confluence for a document, you just ask the AI. You ask the AI what meetings you have and what they're about. You ask the AI to write an email to Joe about the contract renewal and it spits one out for you to proofread and send.

It would be like everyone having their own personal secretary, but one that works seamlessly with everyone else's and never takes a sick day.
I imagine there will eventually be businesses that aggregate data specifically to sell to LLM businesses. Like photostock but with a bunch of LLM conversational stuff.
... no shit Sherlock
