GPT 3 and 4 were already exactly that, leaps and bounds ahead of everybody else.
GPT 4 shocked the connected planet and massively disrupted plans across the tech industry globally. Version 4 has been every bit as disruptive as the iPhone (which completely altered the trajectory of the phone & mobile markets).
It has been talked about from coast to coast across the globe non-stop since its release. Covered endlessly by every major media outlet in the West. GPT this, AI that, non-stop since V4 sparked enormous consumer attention and debate.
It has dozens of major companies and open source groups desperately attempting to copy it or catch up to it.
It has governments terrified of AI and attempting to quickly place regulations to control it.
It has programmers - one of the elite, highest paying professions in the world - running scared that half the software development jobs in the industry are going away in the next decade (they are).
1.3 million software developers in the US earning a median of $115,000 before benefits ($200+ billion in total annual compensation for that employee pool). Half of those jobs, at a minimum, will be eliminated by this type of AI, and it was GPT 4 that made it clear it was not just a far-off premise.
Its the first highly potent consumer AI product. Over one hundred million people quickly signed up to use it. There hasn't been anything remotely close to it so far (Siri and Alexa have been barely useful jokes by comparison).
The same people that like to pretend Tesla didn't spark the electric car revolution, and like to pretend Apple didn't spark the smartphone revolution, like to pretend OpenAI didn't just set off a revolution in AI.

You're in a bubble: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=ChatGPT&hl=en https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=ChatGPT&hl... Trends on ChatGPT interest are clearly going down. It's almost as if it isn't the Magic Beans the charlatans claimed.

- deadbunny 3y agoYou sound like a cryptobro 5 years ago. Everything you're citing is pure hype.
- martin8412 3y agoThe only people scared are people who don't understand it. You've obviously drank the koolaid. What OpenAI has done is impressive, but it's not a replacement for programmers or anyone who does knowledge work. The people who should be scared are people who don't produce original work. For example, journalists who just rewrite content from Reuters. Investigative journalists producing original work aren't at risk.
