#2Reading this this article and the main page, you would think this is a [Closed]Ai subsidiary,regardless:
There are ideological reasons to prefer an open source model. I also think the nokia analogy is pretty thin, but I would never get an iPhone. I don't know what the app store equivalent for Altman's company is though. I also don't know if it's worth perpetuating a monopoly for it.
If you don't need an llm at all though, I agree don't use one.

Thanks for the feedback. The app store equivalent is the plugin store on ChatGPT, which is what adzviser operates on.
What are your ideological reasons to prefer an open source model?

I have just edited the blog a bit to make the analogy more clear. Thanks again for the comment.

If AI in the form it's shaping into is the future we don't want only one comapany (or 3 companies) to control it. We should be able to contribute to it and we should be able to research it. The censorship a company will enact to protect it's image or it's profits are unacceptable.
For Altman's company specifically, it was supposed to be a nonprofit organization for the open creation of a safe ai. Then chatgpt starting working with incredible results, and somehow OpenAi became a for-profit company without release the models that they were supposed to release. They still haven't released the models, despite giving access to the results to anyone who pays.
Add in regulatory capture attempts by major companies that will stiffle innovation (and potentially lead to models that can be trained and used without a few billion) and the case for using open models is strong.

I agree that the fact that they started off aiming to open source their model and calling themselves [Open]AI and eventually moved away and became [Closed]AI is extremely fishy. I believe that having an active and fostering environment where people can contribute to open source LLMs is very valuable too. However, in this capitalistic society, it's also irresistible to make money. OpenAI is under Microsoft's wing now, and to keep the stakeholder happy, they need to make money and build the moat.
We already have Big Bank, Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Tech, so I won't be surprised that we will have Big AI in the future where only 3 companies control it. It's almost inevitable, unfortunately.
