In most circles, that is "not that interested in getting good at it".

b-b-b--but muh AGI? just two more weeks of training, please
Maybe in yours?
Someone can want a thing, even very badly, without wanting to put in the work for it.
Conversely, someone can work very hard for something they do not want.
The linkage between wanting a thing and wanting to do the work to get it is not absolute, or necessary there at all.
It's really hard to be a generalist and better than all the specialists at everything. OpenAI wants to focus on the G in AGI, and optimizing for ecommerce is just not that interesting to them, so of course it can't compete with Walmart.
