FWIW, they lost my belief in them with the "advanced voice" debacle: they seem to have announced it when they did merely to scoop Google, not because that was a reasonable time to announce it :/. It then took them forever to actually release it, and while I totally use it (a lot: I am not saying it is a categorical failure or anything), it isn't anywhere near as good as their demo made it out to be; the result is that I simply don't believe any of their demos or announcements now: I'll believe it when I see it and evaluate it on its merits only then... watching their videos or reading their press releases is probably a waste of time and energy.
Got it. I think my bias in this is that 4o is my go-to chat model, and chat models are basically all I use; if you're doing more advanced stuff than that, I've got no visibility, and am inclined to just believe everything people say.
