I have a strong suspicion that this is a purposeful leak to hype up OpenAI's product. It wouldnt't be out of character for some of the people involved, and it's the kind of thing that rampant commercial (and valuation) focus can bring with it.
The size of its hype matches the size of the ICEs entrenchment in its moat. These have outsize influence on our economy, but climate change (and oil depletion) is quite inevitable. It takes irrational market cap to unseat that part of the economy being prisoner of its rent. And some allocators of capital have understood that.
The list of ICE car manufacturers making EVs is longer than my arm. All the European ones have staked their future on EVs. I think VW (the irony) was lobbying for a faster phaseout of ICEs in Europe, because they're well positioned to take over the EV market if ICEs are banned faster than 2035 :-)
Some very trivial Google searches will tell you their result is not out of the ordinary.
