GPT-4 is not purely a software technology, just like the initial iPhone wasn't either. Without massive improvements in industry-grade GPUs like the A100, I'm unsure we'd be able to have these LLMs (at least this early).

One software innovation I think we often forget about but that is pretty extensively used day-to-day by almost every trade, is the concept of a wiki, a collaborative knowledge base. It exists most famously as Wikipedia, but many other implementations exists (like Notion, or just a Google Drive/synced folder with text files) and can be found in most places in almost any type of business.

And to train LLMs.
