I remember OpenAI holding back GPT from public release in a very similar fashion: it’s too powerful, concerns over misuse, etc. Then they went ahead and released it to the public anyway, with all the potential abuses barely mitigated and now materializing exactly as predicted.
At this point, I can’t view this sort of “It’s too powerful to be public!!” statement as anything but prerelease marketing hype.
