We won't know how it really was and what really happened there

I think Sam Altman has overestimated the capabilities of their GPT models in the public sphere. The product is still too raw to make a real revolution in society. I think the companies that rushed to fire people and replace them with GPT have already regretted it, and now they have grievances against OpenAI. GPT is just a language model that can be useful for certain tasks, but only as an assistant. I'd like to say that it's useful to an engineer in the same way that a simple calculator is useful, but even that might be premature. It makes too many mistakes and messes up on tasks where your cat would do a much better job. Overall, GPT is a nice toy, but nothing more.
