OpenAI CEO Admits He Underestimated AI's Creative Abilities Years Ago

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said in 2014 that AI would not be creative, but current AI like DALL-E and ChatGPT show creativity.

ChatGPT can write poetry, songs, stories - showing creative abilities Altman didn't think possible years ago.

In 2014, the view was AI would be good at crunching numbers but not judgment or creativity.

Altman now says creativity has been easier for AI than people thought back then.

Concerns about AI remain similar to 2014 - future of work, safety, influence - but capabilities are far beyond expectations.
