Does OpenAI claim ChatGPT is fit for those purposes? No.

The concrete itself will happily mix into your pancakes.

I think the whole point of this discussion is that the various peddlers of AI in fact do make wild claims about their capability.

My observation is that largely it's the downstream AI consumers who repackage it irresponsibly. That said, I don't hang on the words of Sam Altman and it's certain they are pushing the idea that AI is more capable than it is, but mostly what I see is them saying they built this thing and it does neat stuff and it can probably do neat stuff for you, use your imagination.

I believe a lot of the folks developing these tools would be horrified at the irresponsible ways vendors and end users are using it.

Sam Altman is the face of OpenAI. He is responsible for misrepresenting the product he sells. If you're going to sling blame around, then you had better observe the words of Sam Altman.

The thing that I think will be most impactful on that five to ten year timeframe is AI will actually discover new science.

This sick man is taken seriously in mainstream media and politics, and it's no exaggeration to say he has blood on his hands.
