[OpenAI] plans to be a profitable company, but as any business person will know ... actually achieving that takes more than goodwill, deep intentions, and serious amounts of wishing. You've got to actually do something - and as you said earlier, there's no sort of killer app for this yet, there's no clear use case. And this is going to prove, in my opinion, to be an increasing problem for OpenAI.
Of course, OpenAI isn't the only AI player in the cloud. All of this has been happening against a backdrop of an industry that's very interested in making money off generative AI. Listeners will be aware that all of the hyperscalers have invested a lot of money in this. So that's AWS, Microsoft Azure as we mentioned, and also Google Cloud have poured billions of dollars into developing their own models and releasing their own AI offerings.
I think the difficulty for OpenAI comes back to that same question of, 'What am I using this for?' Because a lot of the products and a lot of the companies that you've mentioned, they actually caught people's attention with a really killer product.
