Not "completely".

I work in tech, and specifically in Marketing Tech, and I can assure you that we are already seeing a massive shift and a proliferation of tools that are already delivering value to companies, especially small companies or one-person-teams.

As someone wrote on LinkedIn "individuals have never been able to produce so much by themselves thanks to generative AI" and it's so true. It's already shifting consumer behaviour, and we're barely at the beginning of commercially available AI tools.

So, yes. While the buzz around GPT as a proto-AGI or ASI is completely BS, the fact that current AI tools are already massively impacting certain sectors is undeniable.

OpenAI's goal is research toward AGI, not revenue. When they have a sufficiently advanced machine, their plan is to basically ask the AI how to generate revenue. They aren't there yet, and the investors are fully aware of this.

Sorry, that's not how this kind of thing works.

OpenAI is in build mode, haven't you see that Microsoft is gonna inject several billion dollars (with a B) into it?

Alright... So...

First of all, revenue is not necessarily the one thing to look for. In a situation like this one you look at penetration and acquired users. They are building a novel technology.

When you do that, building novel technologies, the success comes in the form of investments. Which they keep getting, and again, $10B injected by Microsoft.

I'd love you to write an email to their team and explain why they are wrong.
