OpenAI has announced that it is combining its ChatGPT, Codex, and developer-facing API into one core product team. The company's head of Codex, Thibault Sottiaux, will lead the new team, which is part of a larger restructuring effort. Codex is a key component of OpenAI's consumer and enterprise offerings, enabling them to perform digital tasks autonomously. The company is also working on a "super app" that will integrate Codex, ChatGPT, and its Atlas web browser into a unified desktop application. However, the author of the article is critical of OpenAI's approach, arguing that the company has made a mistake by putting the Codex team in charge of ChatGPT. The author believes that ChatGPT was a more focused and coherent product, and that the Codex team has introduced confusion and sprawl into the platform. The author also criticizes the complexity of Claude, an app that OpenAI is trying to copy, which has multiple features with overlapping functions. The author argues that the AI industry is presenting complex and confusing products as if they can be easily explained, but in reality, they are just a jumbled mess. The author is frustrated that no one is able to clearly and succinctly explain the products and technologies being developed by OpenAI and other companies. Overall, the author is skeptical of the direction that OpenAI is heading and believes that the company needs to simplify and clarify its products and strategies.
