Sam Altman admits being wrong about AI timeline, says he expected 'much more disruption'

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitted he was "wrong" about the pace of AI disruption, saying adoption will be slower than he expected. He said he had believed GPT-4's 2023 launch would quickly lead to "much more" economic disruption. However, Altman noted that the economy has "inertia", with people continuing to want the same things despite rapid advances in AI.
