Sam Altman says helpful agents are poised to become AI’s killer function

Sam Altman believes the killer app for AI is a super-competent colleague that knows everything about your life but doesn't feel like an extension. He thinks a new piece of hardware might not be necessary for this future, but it could still be beneficial. Altman is optimistic about finding a solution to the scarcity of training data. He believes there will be multiple versions of AGI and is uncertain about the role of computing power. Altman did not provide a specific answer about when GPT-5 will be released.
