Technology and product-market fit
A retrospective interpretation of OpenAI’s strategy.
In this April 2023 excerpt, Jack Brody offers his interpretation of OpenAI’s strategy. It is a retrospective opinion about technology development and product-market fit, not a complete description of the company’s business model.
Brody contrasts a conventional product rule—start with a specific problem—with investing in a technology before knowing every application. He argues that generative, nondeterministic AI can be applied to many different problems.
He says ChatGPT’s rapid product-market fit may have surprised even the company, and credits its earlier conviction in the technology. His account is an interpretation, not evidence of what every decision-maker intended.
