What matters is the spin they give in the media. And so far the winning story is “our model is so powerful it can do this”. How many people dig into it and what independent data do they even have? They comment on the title. And so the image of this superhuman AI from OpenAI propagates.

We have no reason whatsoever to trust anything OpenAI says. Except to assume it will be self serving. As the article points out, ChatGPT 2 was also “too dangerous” and we can all agree even for the time this was just marketing. They rinse and repeat the same technique whenever they need to draw attention and money.

In any other field you’s expect independent testing, peer reviewed studies, but here it’s just “company who makes product says product is fantastic, surpassed all expectations”. They wouldn’t lie to us, would they?
