That doesn’t sound very “Open”.

Sort of like if there was a guy named Open Kevin, whose whole thing was walking into people’s homes and eating all of their food.

Oh it’s open alright. Open to making money.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 8 months ago
No, you’re open.
AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 8 months ago
Yeah, they’ve been wanting that for a while.

ai search products don’t work
Idk how you got to that conclusion. I’m trying to change my habit of googling coding problems because phind.com will 9/10 times have an answer faster and more accurate than if I googled it.

I can’t imagine that whatever they build will be any worse than Google Search.

OpenAI’s existential problem is that they’ll eat their own lunch and then have nothing left. The reason people make useful content now and give it away for free is because they can get paid for the traffic.
Take that traffic away and all the content goes behind paywalls and login screens where OpenAI can’t touch it.

But the content has already been absorbed. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have all of it sucked up (many would argue illegally) and stored as a corpus for them to iterate onto. It’s not like they go out to touch all the web every time they train a new version of their model.
platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Right, they already have scary amounts of data.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Lol people will literally bring openai with them past paywalls and logins.

Exactly, not getting money from almost all visits is still better than not getting any visits

If they eventually do have a search engine, it definitely can’t be trusted. GPT-4 loves to hallucinate.

This guy looks like AI.

awesome. google ruined the internet, would be great for them to face an existential threat

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The AI search engine could be a new feature for ChatGPT, or a potentially separate app altogether.
Microsoft Bing would allegedly power the service from Sam Altman, which could be the most serious threat Google Search has ever faced.
The report says this new search product could be faster than ChatGPT, without sacrificing its powerful summarizing abilities.
Now, OpenAI is coming directly for the crown, in an attempt to dethrone the most dominant internet service of all time.
Perplexity, a small AI search startup with backing from Jeff Bezos, is also competing for Google’s crown.
If such a small team can steal 10 million people from Google, imagine what OpenAI and Microsoft can do.
The original article contains 405 words, the summary contains 114 words. Saved 72%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

OpenAI wants to eat everyone’s lunch. They don’t even respect robots.txt.
I’m gonna be real, I don’t think an AI company stealing every bit of data I ever put online to ingest into their AI so they can use it to make money really falls under “fair use.”
If it were individuals, who were doing it for shits and giggles, and not to make a profit, I’d have a different view. Because I kind of don’t care if you’re just some random asshat making an art project and aren’t using it to try make beaucoup bucks on the back of the whole planets intellectual labor.
Fair Use should be for humans not corporations. Fuck this “corporations are people too” schtick, they aren’t.

This is all exactly* what I’ve been thinking, and better parsed too. If “we” don’t guide AI with the law now, we’re screwed.
umbrella@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
good luck trying to convince our capitalist overlords to stop making money.
we need more than laws yo

I don’t like corporations using the data I put online to train their AI either. I’d happily give it to people to train a FOSS AI tho. I’ve also contributed my voice to Mozillas Common Voice project, which is an open dataset that everyone is allowed to use. If it’s something that everyone can use and benefit from equally, I’m happy to help. I’m not happy to help some corporation make even more profits tho. At least not without getting payed.
