OpenAI started in 2015 and released something around 2023. That's 8 years. Anthropic didn't exist, but sure they beat us to the punch. If you want to say other AI came faster, it's true.
But it's also not the same kind of AI. So it's not a threat. And OpenAI is not open or decentralized. You're relying on a centrally controlled AI, so when it comes to blockchain, Tau is one of the rare cases where we have something real. The only other alternatives are Bittensor and SingularityNET, and those work entirely different, less decentralized, different use cases.
