The founder of ChatGPT spoke with Rowan Cheung at DevDay 2025. Altman used the analogy of telling a farmer 50 years ago that a magical thing called the internet would create a billion new jobs, and that the farmer would likely not believe that would happen, as being similar to what is happening in the intelligence era.
