GPT-5 will normalize as a useful tool rather than changing everything
“GPT-V is like surely going to be extremely useful and like solve some whole new echelon of Problems. Hopefully they'll be faster. Hopefully it'll be better on all these ways, but like fundamentally the same problems that exist in the world are still going to b…”

Turley: Pre-ChatGPT, OpenAI shipped models like hardware instead of software
“Treating the model as a product was not a thing before ChatGPT, because we would ship it more like hardware, where, you know, there'd be a release like GPT-III, and then we would start working on GPT-IV, and these weird giant Big spend R&D projects that would …”

Winters: LLMs risk confidently misleading PMs on strategic work
“So I think at this point, it's a pretty good no code, low code tool. And it's obviously gonna become a lot more than that. But for a lot of these other use cases that people are touting, there's a decent chance confidently tells you the wrong thing. And that w…”

Stripe deploys internal GPT-4 tool with shareable prompt presets across teams
“We stood up an integration to GPT-IV and an internal UI to use models like that. But here's the thing that I want to kind of relate to all of your viewers. We find that we built presets into that. So when you work with large language models, you want to write …”
