Not a chance. The research momentum behind ChatGPT is in the open, widely understood, and has no meaningful IP protections. They’ve now demonstrated where the market is, and money will come in and stake out many different and competing positions. Several of those will probably eclipse everything we’ve seen in these last few weeks. Microsoft, meanwhile, has come in and begun guiding them through product development and engineering as their own effort to stake such a position. Microsoft is reasonably good at this but has no monopoly on it either. In any case — because of the Microsoft attachment, they’re no MySpace or Altavista and won’t simply wither away, but they’re basically just a vassal whose fate and glory is at the whim of their patron.
