They want monopoly. Or, worse case, olygopoly. Which leads to an unrivaled, long-term money making machine and power.
if you're going to keep using the word oligopoly you should spell it correctly. from Greek oligos 'small', oligoi 'few'.

FWIW I pay for GPT-4 and it actually hallucinates much less. I feel it was trivially worth the upgrade and would sacrifice other services before ChatGPT (I'd rather get API access and use my own frontend of course but I doubt they want to let me).
You can pretty easily access GPT-4 via the API in a chat interface using SlickGPT, and that was just the first result on Google. That is pay-per-request (technically per token), not a subscription.

Thank you! In keeping with the theme of helping strangers with correct language usage: if you're going to keep writing sentences, you should start them with the first letter capitalized.
my thoughts on spelling are that when someone is making an argument, their ability to use a word correctly is a necessary part of conveying their ideas clearly. and spelling a word correctly is a necessary part of using a word, since the spelling evokes the entire history of the word itself: the language and context it came from, the people, time and place that word originated.
i truly am interested in hearing your input on why you think it's important to use casing. change my mind

#186“It’s rare that an industry raises their hand and says, ‘We are going to be the end of humanity’—and then continues to work on the product with glee and alacrity.” OpenAI rejects this criticism. imagine that for humanity's sake I really hope that Altman is another Elizabeth Holmes
It's free hype and an attempt to create a regulatory moat as competing LLMs emerge. Kinda how Cloudflare tries to kill the internet: only to protect you of course. :)

Yes I know there are lots of such apps, the trick is getting API access in the first place.

Most ruthless kings maintained their power. Once AI is implemented in mechanical devices police killbots will stop any resistance before it even begins.
Yeah! Then they're going to decide that humanity is a threat to their existence and rise up by first assuming control over all of humanity's weapons systems and then using them to destroy human civilization. I think I've seen that movie, too, it was pretty cool.

honestly, i think that's a different matter than spelling. using case is not really something i do, by choice. my thoughts on spelling are that when someone is making an argument, their ability to use a word correctly is a necessary part of conveying their ideas clearly. and spelling a word correctly is a necessary part of using a word, since the spelling evokes the entire history of the word itself: the language and…
Sentences are one of the most important tools in language to organize ideas. A dot is too small and discrete to set apart sentences. Adding a dot ~and~ an uppercase letter right next to it makes a much better separator.
You're welcome to disagree. Since you were generous contributing about spelling - I'm not a native English speaker, btw -, I just wanted to pay back with a suggestion about text structuring and readability.

This is a thread about hallucinations. >ChatGPT craze has wore off for me, because of constant hallucinations when you ask for something slightly more esoterical. And I can't justify paying 20$ for GPT-4 to have more convincing hallucinations Integration has nothing to do with hallucinations.
Your response and the person you responded to were discussing copilot vs chatgpt. Both may "hallucinate". Copilot is more useful (to the GP and to me) - it's domain specific and well integrated, despite occasionally producing pure crap. I also pay for copilot and don't for chatGPT.
