To be fair they're not accidentally good enough: they're intentionally good enough.

That's where all the salary money went: to find people who could make them intentionally.

GPT 2 was just a bullshit generator. It was like a politician trying to explain something they know nothing about.

GPT 3.0 was just a bigger version of version 2. It was the same architecture but with more nodes and data as far as I followed the research. But that one could suddenly do a lot more than the previous version, so by accident. And then the AI scene exploded.

So the architecture just needed more data to generate useful answers. I don't think that was an accident.
