Because kids would be too stupid to actually come up with how to use it on their own and had to wait for someone else to do that. At the end of the day guys at OpenAI spent over 2 years with GPT3 before coming up with the idea of just using it as a chat bot because having completely new ideas is not that easy. I had access to GPT3 in September 2022 (over 2 months before ChatGPT came out) and felt no real incentive to use it. Once it did get packaged as a chat bot I and my uni friends were crawling all over it within weeks.
I think they found that when typing fast/in an emotional state online, our narrative takes over, and we skip words but not on purpose because we thought it, just didn't type it
That’s definitely possible, because sometimes my messages look like absolutely abysmal — grammar-wise — and yet I mentally had a great idea that I thought I typed out :P
