Asking it to draw the Balkans map in Tolkien style, this is actually really impressive, geography is more or less completely correct, borders and country locations are wrong, but it feels like something I could get it to fix.
It's capable of creating CRUD apps from scratch more or less by itself, and I can see how in this area we soon might get to a point where you can get your own clone of a lot of apps up and running in 30 minutes.
But I imagine a lot of future value we might see created will come from:
1) specialized prompts - looks simple but I don't think it is, especially if you have 100s of them in your application and you have complex logic on how they interact between each other, you're using different models for different parts of your application based on their strengths, etc
2) access to structured data you can connect your agents to
3) network effects - app that is mostly used gets better just by using the usage data (the article did talk about network effects)
I don't think it's really easy to replicate these 3 factors. The article is also mentioning some of this, I'm not really arguing with that, just pointing out that I don't think it will be that simple to c/p full applications.
It's actually not that easy to copy/paste AI agents, prompts take quite a lot of tweaking and it's a rather slow and manual process because it's not that easy to verify that they're working for all the possible inputs. This gets even more complicated when you get a number of agents in the same application and they need to interact with each other.
You may wish it wasn't like that (not you, but all of us), but there's no way China or USA block their companies in development of key technology like this, and I think we (EU countries) should act in the same way.
With all the regulations and paperwork around EU projects, I can't really see them competing against private sector.
We are dependent on models created by USA and Chinese companies for access to the technology that seems to be the next internet - while the entire world is accelerating hard towards protectionism and tariff wars.
What could possibly go wrong
IMO, it would look bad for OpenAI to push strongly with this story, it would look like they're losing the technological edge and are now looking for other ways to make sure they remain on top.
