It's definitely become a part of a lot of people's workflows. I don't think OpenAI can die. But the need of the hour is to find a way to improve efficiency multifold. This will make it cheaper, more powerful and more accessible

Agreed. But it will be a significant loss for a big chunk of people since other LLMs aren’t nearly as good as GPT-4.

That’s fine, I don’t care that there is a good LLM
