Early adopters were using gpt-2 and telling us it was amazing.

I used it and it was completely shit and put me off openai for a good four years.

gpt-3 was nearly not shit, and 3.5 the same just a bit faster.

It wasn't until gpt-4 came out that I noticed that this AI thing should now be called AI because it was doing things that I didn't think I'd see in decades.
