I think this definitely remains to be seen. Might be, might not be. They were saying the same thing about the Segway.



Segway sold about 6,000 units per year at a $5k price point, adding up to an ARR about 300 times lower than OpenAI. It's already a lot more real than the Segway ever was.


That’s such a ridiculous comparison in the current year.

Segway sold at most 10k units in a year.

ChatGPT currently has 77 million MAUs in the U.S.


Maybe after the VCs set fire to enough money my own dollars will be worth a little more.
