You can debate the meaning of the word pioneer but think of it this way: OpenAI created this new AI boom, and Andrej is a co-founder of the company that did that.

Would you say that Musk is one of the most significant AI pioneers in history? I don't personally believe that founding the organization is more meaningful than doing the actual work.

  • The difference is that Andrej is an actual AI engineer who remained involved in the company. Musk was just an early co-founder who eventually left and had no involvement on the breakthroughs of the company.
