Well that's the gamble with OpenAI isn't it? There's some utility now but it's currently unclear when we'll hit a hard wall on what's realistically capable with the models (and their direct successors), and how many things OpenAI will be able to with them.
I don't think anyone knows for sure where that wall will actually be (including OpenAI themselves). While I don't actually think we'll get AGI any time soon from any company[1], if they did manage to fully crack it, then there's really no limit to how much they can actually do and how much money they can actually make.
I certainly don't think we've seen the end of the capabilities though, even in the near term; I think the GPT models have a lot of room to improve and I think that newer models for generative images and video and music and 3D models are going to get substantially better. How "profitable" that will be will depend on a bunch of variables (e.g. costs of GPUs/TPUs/something else, energy costs, potential regulatory hurdles, etc.).
[1] I don't really know what I'm talking about, I'm not a machine learning or AI expert, it's just a gut feeling I have.
