#2> On one hand, it seems like the responsible thing to do; on the other, it could hurt its bottom line.
Remember that next time OpenAI and Sam Altman throw sand in your eyes with “our goal is to empower and serve humanity” or whatever they try to sell you. If they believed what they preach, the choice would’ve been obvious.

#4I think it's just too easy to fool it, as article says

#5Remember when GPT was "too dangerous" to release into the world and unless you were twitter-famous you had to apply and wait for months to even get access? Times sure have changed

#6Kind of pointless when there are many open-source models that are approaching ChatGPT-level people could use instead.

#7On a personal level, I'm happy about this. Having all personal info trackable is a tiring aspect of modern life? Remember when social media didn't zero out the exif on photos and anyone could easily grab a map to your family's home?
On a society level? I'm stil ok with this. Watermarks are trivially removed by the motivated and unpleasant.

Yeah. Okay. Sure. How do you feel about community-developed / open-source models that’ll certainly do the same thing citing “freedom” and “choice” as the justification.
If people are just salty about OpenAI and want to buy into the Sam Bad culture war then so be it, but trying to make sense of this contradictory backwards-engineered justification is tiring.

I remember when GPT-2 was "too dangerous" to release. I am confused why people still take these clown claims seriously.

You’re reading a bit too much into The Verge’s hard-hitting reporting, which essentially amounts to “companies are groups of people and any group of more than a handful of people is very likely to disagree about quite a bit”. Congratulations on getting engagement baited. May as well rename HN to Facebook at this point.
