That might be true, but my feeling so far is that OpenAI doesn't want to do what they'd need to do to make any one product actually good, so they're going to keep bouncing from AI thing to thing, making foundation models that have a lot of wow factor but can't really deliver on their promise because they're too closed off to integrate into a workflow that might alleviate the issues.

Other people will try to build on OpenAI stuff, find that it's not quite good enough and OpenAI doesn't care to really make it good enough because it's a lot of work, and it won't be until we get competitors that take less sexy model tech and take the time to make it REALLY GOOD at certain things that AI really makes good on its promise. I'm guessing that will be driven by people taking open source tools that are ~80% of the way there and really building a system and domain logic around it to make it excellent.
