To be perfectly honest, I have remained convinced that AI technology is, for the time being, mostly a fad technology with far less real-world value and practical usability than most people think. 4 billion is an astronomically high valuation, IMO.

Maybe not astronomically. That's not a big number in a modern economy. You only have to help out maybe one industry and it's worth that much.

And AI already can do that. E.g. help reading a sales effort; help qualify an investor; help target a pitch. Doing just an adequate job at these things can make agents more productive, sooner. Do it for car sales or real estate agents or financial services, that's money in the bank.

I think current gen is a piece of the puzzle, but not the whole picture.

No matter how much hardware you throw at GPT, it's not going to reason against its own ingested material, but it could be a foundational part of an actual GAI the way that a battery led to the creation of a laptop. (maybe not that far apart, but the analogy stands)
