I know people who use AI in real life a lot, I think it is fine to use ChatGPT to help write an email, but some people use it daily for everything.

Bluesky uses AT Protocol and Mastodon uses ActivityPub which makes it impossible to federate. Bluesky does allow you to host your own servers though, so you can consider its own fediverse.
