> IBM and other big players are vigilant about these things, and this is what companies pay for. And more importantly, IBM will guarantee it in the case that they're wrong. _That's_ what companies pay for.

Yes. I tucked it under "support contract" part mentally, actually.

  That's fair, but until I actually read one of those contracts myself I didn't really understand what people meant by "support"

    It depends per job and per requirements, and has a direct affect on the cost of the contract in general.

And more importantly, IBM will guarantee it in the case that they're wrong. So will OpenAI, according to Sam Altman. Can they be trusted?

  IBM has a track record going back to automatically price calculating cheese cutters [0], but Sam does not. IBM has proven itself in various ways over the years, OpenAI hasn't. While IBM is a behemoth of a money making machine, they put money where their mouth is. OpenAI does not. So I'll trust IBM, but not OpenAI.
