2019: We have no idea if computers will ever able to talk like a human in natural language. 2026: We have multiple magical know-everything oracles that can speak any language better than most humans and produce pages of output for fractions of a cent, but the model names are a bit confusing so let's just not bother.

I said neither of these two statements or claims. The fact is that OpenAI's model family and release is not standardized. This means that if I have applications that are using the high, mid, and low tier models, e.g. at v5.6, it's not straightforward for me to update to a new version, e.g. v6 or v6.1 of these models because there isn't immediately a 1:1 mapping at the time of release of the version. Competitors to OpenAI don't have this problem, so I will bother with them.
