    People are crazy when they promote closed-source AI (okay, okay, generative model) projects like ChatGPT, Bard etc.

    This is literally one of the most important technologies of the future, and after all the times technology companies screwed them (us) up big time and monopolized the Internet, they go into the same trap again and again.

    First they surrendered the free Internet, now they surrender the new frontiers.

    Wake up, people. Go HuggingFace, advocate for free AI, and ideally - for a GPL one. We cannot afford for this part of our future to be taken away from us.

      I pointedly avoid ChatGPT for that reason. When the NovelAI leak happened, it was amazing, and the open ecosystem flourished in response. I just can’t believe they call themselves OpenAi.

        Ah, that name was left from when they’ve been open-source, which us why I advocate for the emergence of GPL-licensed projects.

        The open-source license for GPT model was very relaxed, which OpenAI took advantage of and, once it could afford their own programmer staff, closed the code with all the contributions all the programmers from all over the world have made.

        It’s an extremely dick move, and it was repeated by Google, too.
