I hope it isn't true! I'd expect them and other LLM orgs to support some plugins where it isn't worth them building the functionality internally but also replacing the ones that they can do better or with less or little effort. Hard to be upfront and honest about what the future looks like this early in the applied statistics arena. Maybe OpenAI should be deferring more to their Head of PR?

This is the usual "Netflix attempting to become HBO faster than HBO can become Netflix" and a critical eye to where the work is being done and the value being delivered.
