Thank you, but that still doesn't really explain why 2021. Chatting services we're popular way before that. Something must have happened in the year 2021 in relation to technology so that this specific year was chosen as last decent production year for technology.

    I saw a comment somewhere else on Lemmy saying they heard someone refer to asking chatgpt something as "asking chat." So I think it was a meta reference to calling AI chat.

    And yes, since chatgpt was released in 2022 my cutoff for searches is also 2021, so it makes perfect sense to me.
