Sam Altman, ChatGPT-maker OpenAI’s Chief Executive Officer said on August 14 that the latest version of its large language model (LLM) - GPT-5 - can help solo founders run an entire startup.
“You could build an entire startup way more efficiently than you ever could before. The fact that as a 25-year-old in India or anywhere else, maybe with a couple of friends, maybe just by yourself, you could use GPT5 to help you write the software for a product much more efficiently,” Altman said in the latest episode of Nikhil Kamath’s podcast People by WTF.
GPT-5 could help founders handle customer support, write marketing and communications plans, and review legal documents, he added. When asked by Kamath about what are some of the specific skills that could be studied in order to use AI to develop something in science, Altman said it is just getting 'really good at using the new AI tools'.
“Whether you're learning computer engineering or biology or any other field… like that, if you get good at learning things, you can learn new things quickly, but fluency with the tools is really important,” explained Altman.
He compared learning coding while in school with using AI tools as probably the most important specific hard skill to learn today. “...the difference between people who are really good at AI native and think of everything in terms of those tools, and that is huge," Altman said.
