ChatGPT Now Participates in Group Chats
According to the openai website:
For more hands-on projects, like designing a backyard garden or finding art for a new apartment, create a group chat with your partner or roommates to help collaborate on design ideas, preferences, and styles together. It’s also great for group decisions, like finding a restaurant that fits everyone’s tastes or settling a friendly debate with an impartial referee.
Not only was this anticipated by science fiction writers, you might be able to see where openai is going with this. Here's an excerpt from Cities in Flight (1957) by James Blish:
Group chats make it possible to bring people, and ChatGPT, into the same conversation. For example, if you’re planning a weekend trip with friends, create a group chat so ChatGPT can help compare destinations, build an itinerary, and create a packing list with everyone participating and following along.

He still had not gotten used to the idea that the City Fathers overheard everything one said, everywhere and all the time; among many other things, the city was their laboratory in human psychology, which in turn enabled them to answer such questions as Anderson had just asked.
