> They will be swept away if they sit and wait a couple years

I'm not sure that assertion is entirely correct, but I'm aware that I'm making tech predictions that I am very bad at.

The long term future is AR glasses. But the problem is, physics and battery chemistry means thats not going to happen for ~10 years at the very minimum.

Until then its still tablet/phones. The problem for openAI is that for them to provide useful results, they need access to all your "context" (messages, photos, location, spending, conversations, videos everything) Apple isn't going to allow that, which means that openAI isn't going to be all that useful on ios.

Android however is much more loosey goosey. The issue is, will google allow a competitor to steal all that context and muscle them out of their own platform?

I'm not sure openAI is going to win this, mainly because they need their own platform, and they only thing they have is brand loyalty, rather than a network effect. chatGPT is fungible with any of the other providers. The only thing that makes them stand out is the tools that are bundled with chatgpt. that and weird personification/pack bonding.
