This is cool but I'm hesitant to invest any real amount of time building something on this. How do I know that if I build something massively successful they wont shut off my access and build a competitor?

if you build something massively successful (with recurring revenue), you should be able to switch to one of the similar open-source models and even host it yourself.

GPT-Neo and GPT-J may not be as large as GPT-3, but I think GPT-Jurassic rivals it (I'm not sure if the jurassic model is released to the public, maybe someone else with more knowledge can comment)

Yeah, it’s pretty disappointing given their name. More like ClosedAI am I rite guyz

Is it even AI?

Yes, unless you’re one of those people who considers anything less than human-level AI to not count.

Looks neat, but note that OpenAI is basically an App Store model - whatever you make with it cannot be shown to more than five people unless OpenAI has reviewed and explicitly approved your project. And their usage guidelines are pretty narrow - "open-ended chatbots" are explicitly disallowed, for example. > https://beta.openai.com/docs/going-live > https://beta.openai.com/docs/usage-guidelines/use-case-guide...

I think the thing to do is build proof of concept level stuff with this. If you hit on something that has potential you can rebuild it with an alternative model.

There are also other models that are more open. NovelAI uses GPT-J IIRC.

There's no public model of the same size as the biggest GPT-3 yet, is there? I'd use GPT-3 to see what's possible, and then try to replicate the performance with the smaller public models. With the pace of AI development it's likely that GPT-3 will be matched by an open model in the not too distant future, but it's nice to be able to prototype with GPT-3 now to get a head start.

In case anyone is wondering what the OpenAI review form looks like, I've attached a screenshot here:

It also makes sense

That's horrible! Why would anyone build anything with OpenAI when they can shut you down so wantonly? Is there a writeup on this?

Dunno about a write up, but out of the ashes of AI Dungeon, NovelAI was born. The model isn’t as good as GPT-3, but the UI and options are better, and unlike AI Dungeon, the company never reads your stories; they can’t, because they’re encrypted, and by default they aren’t even stored in the cloud IIRC. https://novelai.net/#/ https://www.reddit.com/r/NovelAi/

How is an encrypted string supposed to be fed to a transformer network?

Freaking platform risk!! I lost 8 months of my life on 2 projects. One was using robinhood's unofficial API and the other one was Discord's.

So now my whole goal is to built stuff from the ground up.
