The CTO of OpenAI has said the models they have in their labs are not much further ahead of those publicly available. In other words ChatGPT5 (if and when it gets released) sounds unlikely to be much better than what's already available. More evidence we're reaching a saturation point with what GenAI models can deliver. I'm not a GenAI cynic, I use ChatGPT every day, but it's at best an unreliable narrator and fails with anything mildly complex. The hope (hype) around it all is it will get a lot better and be able to overcome the current limitations. However it's looking less and less likely this is gonna happen anytime soon. If you understand how GPT models work you'll know why - they're fundamentally predictive models (so will always get things wrong) with no actual intelligence or ability to know whether their output is reliable. Which means they can't be used to automate anything business critical, and the idea they can replace huge swathes of the job market are currently overblown. Throwing more and more compute at the problem (which is largely what's got us here today) can't solve this. The next big leap will require completely new approaches, and no one is in a position to predict when that might happen.

We’ve just released 3 new features on Sweetspot (YC S23)! 1️⃣ Pipelines & Capture Assistant: Easily triage all the opportunities you’d like to pursue and make an educated bid/no-bid decision in minutes by leveraging our Capture Assistant.
