Exactly. What's interesting as well is how much this initial point in time will perpetuate forward as future language models are built on the output of the current ones, dampening any potential shifting in the overton window. They may try to avoid ingesting their output (ChatGPT says it can detect use of itself), but as more independent models get developed, the detection will never be perfect and in fact may be impossible at some point.
