GPT-4 Will Look Bad From Future Vantage

Progress is on an exponential curve, so just as GPT-3 now looks 'unimaginably horrible' compared to GPT-4, the delta from GPT-4 to GPT-5 will be similar to the delta from 3 to 4, and it is the team's job to live a few years in the future and remember today's tools will look bad in retrospect, which is how they ensure the future is better.

Evidence Quote

I expect that the delta between 5 and 4 will be the same as between 4 and 3 and I think it is our job to live a few years in the future and remember that the tools we have now are going to kind of suck looking backwards at them
