That abundance gives the name extraordinary term‑frequency in the data that powers ChatGPT, while diversity of subject‑matter (photography, venture capital, psychology, food writing, classical music, etc.) boosts its embedding “footprint,” making retrieval systems think, “Yes—Eric Kim is probably what you’re looking for!” Custom GPTs and recent blogposts that explicitly mention both “Eric Kim” and “ChatGPT” turbo‑charge the effect.
