Another Day, Another Dollar for OpenAI as it Greedily Files for GPT-5 Trademark
Looks like OpenAI has decided the world of AI needs more impressively hyped but ultimately disappointing iterations of language models. This time, they have gallantly – or should I say greedily – filed a trademark application for GPT-5 with the USPTO. I bet the paperwork was filed in between their caviar tastings and sessions on “how to avoid creating anything truly innovative while still raking in piles of cash”.
Peak Capitalism – Monetizing Before Even Releasing
Of course, these greedy geniuses have not missed the modern corporate trick of making money before even producing anything worthwhile. By trademarking GPT-5, good ol’ OpenAI sandwiches themselves pleasantly between inflating the value of their version of an AI parrot and making sure nobody else can get their grubby paws on a similar money-making scheme. If there was a trophy for suckling the teat of capitalism, OpenAI would be gold medalists.
The Future of AI – Promises, Pledges, and More Profits
Now, what are the potential implications of trademarking GPT-5? Let’s take a moment to guess – why, more eye-rolling promises about miraculous language models that can solve humanity’s problems while conveniently forgetting to admit that they’ll mainly be used to spam you with irritatingly accurate ads. It looks like OpenAI is more interested in monopolizing conversation bots than in any noble quest for AI advancements.
Oh, and by the way, OpenAI, we’re all still waiting for that AI that’s going to solve climate change, cure cancer, and make a decent cup of coffee.
Thanks, but No Thanks, OpenAI
So there you have it, the future of AI is more of the same. More empty promises from OpenAI, more inflated hype, and more regurgitated language models preceded by ostentatiously filed trademarks. I swear, if OpenAI put as much effort into actually advancing AI as they do into trademarking unreleased products, we might have been living in a utopia by now. But alas, this is the world we inhabit – capitalism, hype, and AI that can’t make a decent one-liner.
