Can you elaborate on this? Per ChatGPT:

> Using Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company as an example of such success is historically inaccurate. Pierce-Arrow was an American automobile manufacturer based in Buffalo, New York, which was known for producing luxury cars. It was indeed a dominant and prestigious brand in the early 20th century. However, the company did not manage to maintain its success and ultimately failed to adapt to changing market conditions. It faced financial difficulties during the Great Depression and eventually went bankrupt in 1938. Pierce-Arrow's inability to forecast and adapt to the economic changes and shifts in consumer preferences of the time led to its decline.

From the very answer ChatGPT gave you, it's evident that GP is saying that current success does not imply future success, using that company as an example. What needs elaboration?
It's pretty clear he is trying to make the opposite point, see "dominance in this market to this very day"
