I don't think this is correct, one of my colleagues made a MVP using ChatGPT a month ago (I don't know how it works internally, but it was fully integrated with our system, a multi job posting system).

This (for me) just shows a normal trend in tech. Somebody develops something, gets a lot of buzz, doesn't deliver, buzz dies slowly, and then several years in the future somebody else actually builds the tech stack needed for it, and i
