>> It drives me nuts how OpenAI has misleadingly marketed their products, and the tech community at large has failed to clarify what their products really are. > The tech industry has long, long, long been a rapacious pump and dump scheme where the tech is barely relevant and most of the industry has been harvesting violations of social norms and regulations (tracking and ad tech, Uber, etc.). The tech industry != the tech community. OpenAI is part of the tech industry, and I think you are accurately describing their behavior. But the question was about the failures of the tech community, and I think those are different and exploited by the tech industry. Basically I think a large fraction of the tech community is composed of gullible and easily propagandized software engineers who believe in sci-fi fantasy and consistently overestimate their own abilities and understanding. That kind of person is incapable of "clarify[ing] what [OpenAI's] products really are," because they're some of the people with the most personal (ideological?) investment in the hype.
