> it wasn't hard to make that leap in 2023

It...does seem hard to make that leap to me. I mean, again, to a casual and uncritical outside observer who is just listening to and (in my mind naively) trusting someone like Sam Altman, then it's easy, sure.

But I think for those thinking critically about it... it was just as unjustified a leap in 2023 as it is today. I guess maybe you're right, and I'm just really overestimating the number of people that were thinking critically vs uncritically about it.
