Here's why. The models are all sort of variations on the transformer architecture. But what sets models apart is $$$ worth of hardware to train the bigger model, and $$$ to obtain better training data.
So I don't think it will hurt OpenAI as much as we think. The software is the easy part at this point I think.
The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups
