They can and probably will still be very successful but what they pitched so far is not going to work if their is any meaningful competition not too far behind.

I hope these type of dismissive comments stop in HN. OpenAI have been reducing prices since for ever so these kinda things are really the consequence of finding efficiencies and passing it down due to competition and increasing demand.
