It doesn’t matter GPT-5 complaint; Sam Altman said he believes Chatgpt has more conversations every day than all humans combined.
“If you project our growth out, you’ll talk to Chatgpt every day soon,” Openai CEO said during dinner with San Francisco’s reporter. “Chatgpt may have more conversations at some point than all human words. I think it’s unreasonable to want a single model personality or style to work for all of this.”
The remarks come after the chaos of the long-awaited new flagship model GPT-5, some users find the model less friendly and supportive. As part of the release, OpenAI no longer provides users with access to previous model GPT-4O. After some users rebelled, it quickly reversed its position.
Chatgpt was released in November 2022 and has barely made a big fuss, but it quickly became the fastest-growing technology product in history. Chatbots mimic human extraordinary ability to communicate and solve problems sparked hope, and eventually built machines as smart as humans.
But Altman said the company lost its latest version by failing to realize how the model’s tone changes will affect consumers. He pointed out that in the near future, more customization will be done.
“It has to be provided with a very different product to accommodate an extremely wide range of use cases and people,” he said.
When asked if AI is in the bubble, Altman said “yes,” but added that it almost means that the underlying technology is not transformative. “When bubbles happen, smart people feel over-inspired by the core of truth,” he said. “If you look at most bubbles in history [like] The technology bubble, there is something real. Technology is very important, the Internet is very important. ”
Ultraman said Openai could spend trillions of dollars on data centers only in the “near future.” “And you should expect a group of economists to shake hands, like, ‘Oh, this is crazy, it’s so reckless’…We’re just thinking, ‘You know what? Let’s do our thing.'”
When asked where he planned to find trillions of dollars, Altman hedged. “I doubt we can design a very interesting new type of financial tool to calculate situations that the world has not yet figured out,” he said. “We are working on it.”
Meanwhile, Altman said he expects some of the big AI investments not to be abandoned, just as investors in some companies lost when they were built in the Internet infrastructure during Dotcom Boom. Openai raised $40 billion at the end of March to fund its mission to reach AGI, bringing the company’s valuation to $300 billion. If the company sells through rumored stocks, which will allow employees to cash in on the company’s shares, it can further expand OpenAI’s valuation to $500 billion.
“Someone will lose a staggering amount of money, we don’t know who it is, a lot of people will make a lot of money,” he said. “And my personal belief that although I may make mistakes, overall, it will be a huge victory for the economy.”
