only in theory and that's not gonna be happening

this is the same happening with software and game industry

because free market forces people to raise the bar every year, the requirement of apps and games never met. its only goes up

frontier model today would deem unusable(dumb) in 5 years

example: people literally screaming in agony when Antrophic quantized their model
