He did not create the breakthroughs behind the next GPT.
None of the people that may follow have the same handle on the tech as Ilya. I mean they built up Ilya's image in our mind so much, that he's one of a kind genius (or maybe Musk did that) and now we are to believe that his genius doesn't matter and that Microsoft already knows how to create AGI and that OpenAI is no longer relevant?
Or did I get it wrong?
Ilya might be a genius, but he's not the only genius that OpenAI had.
