How much does it matter? Everyone's practically forgotten that compviz and Midjourney were just in the past few months, Sberbank has ruDALL-E which largest model is somewhere between DALL-E 1 and 2, FB has Make-A-Scene which is somewhat below GLIDE/DALL-E 2, and Tsinghua's Cogview2 paper was released just days ago and is claiming roughly DALL-E 2 parity. AI capabilities are advancing fast enough that whether or not OA releases something, there will be competitors soon. (Heck, you want a GPT-3 competitor? There's like a dozen of them of similar or better quality, several of which are public or API - BigScience, Aleph Alpha, & AI2 come to mind.)
