I’m not sure what you mean and I don’t see how profitability follows from that?

Venture-backed companies can lose money for years. Sometimes it pays off in the end, but making predictions about profitability seems hard inside a bubble.

Also, some industries like manufacturing solar panels have high market growth but they’re unprofitable for most manufacturers.

So I think it remains to be seen if OpenAI knows what they’re doing. It doesn’t seem like the sort of thing armchair arguments are good at predicting.

You're right. This is definitely armchair opinions however what I meant was at scale, OpenAI are able to make their model unfathomably cheap as they have the resources to do so.

If they're running at a loss, it's a great way to take shots at the competition and especially with the added advantage of model capability.

Get more customers onboard, play around with margins as required.
