It seems like Microsoft has recognized what a money pit OpenAI is and will continue to be. If OpenAI turns out to be a failure what happens to generative AI in general. Tech always needs a "next big thing" to grow and raise money. Mature technologies aren't useful for this purpose. Maybe tech has peaked and we're in a phase where we'll get incremental improvements with no big breakthroughs.

What was the last breakthrough that wasn't a pile of fraud? Multicore processors?
It's been a while since I remember a truly innovative and exciting tech announcement. Web 3.0, Crypto, and now AI have all been kind of hype driven duds.
Computers as tools peaked at email, spreadsheets and hypertext.
Everything since is just rent seeking seeping in.
