It was totally possible. There just was not a consumer facing product offering the capability.

I disagree that at current possibility it was "totally possible" but it was 100% obvious by that point that it was going to be possible very soon. IMO that has been clear since ~2019.

GPT3 existed. OCR existed. Object recognition existed.

GPT3 was not as good as 3.5. Multimodal is not the same as OCR + object recognition.
