I have no evidence of this but: I think this is the ultimate scam?
human: damn kids are using this to cheat in school
openai: release an "app"/prompt that seems really close to solving this stated problem
kids: I never wanted to learn anything, I just want to do bare minimum to get my degree, let my parents think they are helping my future, and then i can get back to ripping that bong

It doesn't matter the problem statement: the 80% or less solution seems can be made and rather quickly. Such a huge percentage of the population judges technology solutions as "good enough" way lower than they should. This is even roping in people from the past who used to be a higher level of "rigorous correctness" because they keep thinking, "damn just a bit more work and it will get infinity better, lets create the biggest economic house of cards this world will ever collapse under"
