AI has taken us by storm and will soon make us all jobless and obsolete. At least, that’s what I hear all “AI-gurus” proclaiming. Well, if we take things into perspective we know that every technology cycle starts with a hype, and we heard similar predictions with the inception of the PC, Internet, Blockchain and Metaverse. However, we’re still playing quite a significant role as human beings, right?
That brings me to a question much more relevant in our bubble, Dear Friends. Does AI, and more specifically ChatGPT, know anything about watches? I’m pretty sure it will sum up top 10 lists of divers watches or the history of a Daytona, but that’s level 1 type of knowledge a newbie would brag on to his friends.
I’m interested in more thorough, authoritative and opinionated knowledge on the Important Dilemmas of life for seasoned watch geeks like us. Such as: What Genta-designed watch is better: the Patek Philippe Nautilus or the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak? We really would need a conclusion here, right?
Patek Philippe Nautilus 5811

As for the Cons, two external factors are mentioned: the resale value and brand prestige. AP brand prestige as a con? I think many of us will beg to differ here..
ChatGPT brings in the final conclusion, confirming the previous pro-and con analysis:
