Claims that GPT‑4 scales to 1,000 billion parameters and McKinsey forecasts $2.6–4.4 trillion economic impact sit alongside concrete tools and failures: DALL‑E 2 and ChatGPT generate images and text, Microsoft’s Valley clones voice from seconds of audio, and RLHF is used for fine‑tuning. Reports show a 213B transformer emits ~600,000 pounds of CO2, hallucinations and copyright breaches occur in outputs, deepfakes evade detection about 50/50%, and red‑teaming plus filtering are proposed fixes.
