Yes, surely they only have one type of Software Engineer and they all know how to improve model quality.
Alternatively, does it not seem more likely that they have different product groups? Surely the folks working on ChatGPT are an entirely different beast than the folks working in model development?
Yes, surely a sarcastic reductio ad absurdum of what was was said will inspire dialogue.
I think the GP's point is that their investing in new distribution channels could mean ROI in models has diminished significantly. Incidentally, I disagree with GP that's what this means-- this is another investment in brand awareness, AND data for multi-modal/audio. They might have gotten to 1080p for text chat but definitely not for voice chat.
Nothing more absurd than your response. OpenAI has a large engineering staff, it’s foolish to say they are all working on advancing models. The folks working on ChatGPT are going to continue working on ChatGPT. Let’s not even forget that O1 just got released recently.
Nothing I said was absurd in response to making an unsupported idea that model development has plateaued.
