    For those who didn’t read past the headline: OpenAI is still growing, but competition is growing faster.

    This isn’t good news. This just means now the market is fractured with many AIs instead of just one. If anything it’s just a sign that more people are using AI.

    Call me when the headline is “ChatGPT shuts down”.

      Fundamentally this feels like it should be a good thing

      But it does feel like this just accelerates things.

      If OpenAI’s numbers are true, more usage means more cash burn. And more competition means companies have to fight to offer the best deals to customers, meaning more cash burn.

      Now if the market was reasonable

        The market shouldn’t even exist.

        Imagine if I offered a service to connect people with local serial killers. Then after some time more people started offering that service.

        Would you say “Well hopefully competition will drive down prices at least”?

          Yeah big AI needs to not be a thing. Small, focused, FOS, and local AI seems like a future with an okay compromise. I say as a very anti-AI person, but for those that use AI, that seems to be what they’re doing, in my vicinity.
