A bit of a nostalgic read, I bet everyone remembers the first time they tried ChatGPT-4, and the conversations about it at gatherings/BBQs.

But I don't feel like it's gotten any better, if anything I feel like it's been "dumbed-down" a bit (possibly from added safeguards/censorship).

AI coding assistants (e.g. Co-Pilot) has made me a more productive developer, but only in the sense that I type less boiler plate (or ceremony code).

No, and no. Never tried it. Nobody in my circles does.

The AI hype bubble illustrated.

People who keep telling me I will be left behind keep not producing all this amazing, flawless, refined software that AI was supposed to build.

So this type of article is going to be written every time a model is deprecated?

GPT-3 is the one that shocked the world.

And the main innovation (transformer with attention) predates it by a few years and was already surprising people in GPT-2

Agreed. For me, GPT-2 was the first time I saw generated text in the wild (thanks r/subredditsimulator!) back in ~2015(?), and GPT-3/ChatGPT was the real model/interface that shocked the world.
