10 years from now, the capabilities of gpt5 will be as relevant to AI as Atari is to modern gaming

Unless GPT 5 is more like the PlayStation 5 and not the Atari 2600.

So people will be paying money for the nostalgia of ChatGPT after it dies? That tracks.

Walmart will sell cheap Chinese emulations to hop on the nostalgia train too.

I doubt it. Newer state of the art models might be a little better, but not enough to justify paying $1000/month for the average person or employee.

If you can get a GPT5 level AI, locally and privately, for just the cost of electricity, why would you bother with anything else? If it can’t do something, you’d just outsource that one prompt to a cloud based AI.

The vast majority of your prompts will be passing through a local LLM first in 2035, and you might rarely need to touch an agent API. So what does that mean for the AI industry?
