Missed a golden opportunity to call the extension "ClopenAI"...

#23the author is best case a cringeworthy consoomer, worst case a paid shill (you thought microsofts 10B were intended for research?)
Only open source LLMs can truly be safe, everything else are black boxes posing an existential risk to humanity.

#24Where every idiot with a Google account/Microsoft account/phone number can sign up for their service and start churning out tokens per second by the query, I'd say it's pretty open to the public. The far more closed alternative would be to keep it invite only, granted only towards a set of elites, at select companies. Only OpenAI knows how much $20/user is charging them, but for the price insensitive wealthy, after being given a demo of the technology, I could see those that get it easily paying thousands a month for access. We, the general public, wouldn't be able to keep up with the UnopenAI-productivity-enhanced. Sure we'd all love if the GPT-4 model was available via BitTorrent, on agreeable licensing terms, but a truly closed, private, version looks far more dystopian for the future of society.

#25"Open - for some definition of open" AI Prepare to open your wallet each time you use it.
Unless you're in an impoverished part of the world, $20/month seems pretty friggin cheap (for user-level access) to me.
It really isn't. Even in parts of the world that are definitely not impoverished. 20$/month would place it almost at the top of the most expensive subscriptions I have and I live in Italy.

My first subscription service as a teenager was world of warcraft.
It would be around $22 in today's dollars.

I'm sure your housing, food, possibility car subscription are far more expensive. :)

#28"Open"Ai is still better than Google. Google is so closed they made a GPT-2.5 and got so scared they put the tech on a shelf.
Google is still the leading research firm in the world when it comes to AI. They release almost 3x more research papers on AI than the next firm. Almost every major advancement in AI over the last decade can be trace back to Google, including the one that made GPT possible.
Yes but they have huge system of that kind that they use internally on user data.
We are all spied on and Google is the biggest player. The government let them get away with their monopoly on the market as long as they have a hand inside of the spying machine, win-win.

#29It’s open enough that a poor person working freelance for $5 per hour on the other side of the world can use it for free to enhance their work.
Sure you can bleat on and on that it’s not GPL blah blah.
But I see some VA’s who have English as a third language step up their game and be able to be more efficient?
They don’t have to pay a cent. Just have an internet connection and an e-mail address and they are on the same playing field as you.
That’s open enough for me. And for the vast number of people outside the HN ivory tower.
