>Except it’s not been five years, it’s been at most three,

Why would it be "at most" 3? We had Chat GPT commercially available as private beta API on 2020. It's only the mass public that got 3.5 3 years ago.

But those who'd do the noticing as per my argument is not just Joe Public (which could be oblivious), but people already starting in 2020, and includes people working in the space, who worked with LLM and LLM-like architectures 2-3 years before 2020.





No, we didn’t. We had the GPT-3 API available in 2020, and approximately no one was using it.

Seems like you missed most of my comment

I stopped once it became clear that the first half was both wrong and irrelevant.
