It depends what you think the goal is, AGI or making a ton of money. OpenAI doesn't seem that close to AGI. But in terms of value creation they have turned numerous industries and jobs on their head. Things like copywriting or how they are destroying stackoverflow and quora. The next lowest fruit they are disrupting is front line chat/email support - this is usually never part of a core product but the market is massive, almost every company needs support - look at Zendesk or imagine the costs of Uber's offshore support army. They are going for the AWS platform approach - every niche GPT wrapper that gets a modicum of success and has happy paying users, these users likely are likely to stick because it improves their work in obvious ways. OpenAI gets their slice, think of how AWS made it easy for anyone to spin up a service, sure some failed but the hurdle is much lower - with such a powerful general model, I don't need to spend millions training my own to launch. The issue for them is it'll likely be less sticky if competitors/open source models catch up - hasn't happened yet but it might. I've never seen such disruption to ways of working in so many industries in my lifetime. If you're on HN you may not see any use in your work if specialised, but at the entry level (majority of workers), doing writing work in 30% of the time has been game changing.
