I can already see now where AI advancements will get bogged down / killed or derailed...when the companies funding the research and launching the products realize that the tools are an existential threat to
their profits.
I can't imagine a world where Microsoft is safe a software company, when all their software can be replicated quite easily by the very tools they're selling as products. Can I just create my own product using ChatGPT? Can it not just replicate itself?
It's an interesting situation and I'm really interested to see how it unfolds, my guess is, unless these AIs can be controlled to the point where the masters are happy with it, the plug will be pulled, or we will be told we need something else, not AI but some other thing.
None of these companies are building AI for charitable reasons, that's why they're not open source charity organizations investing heavily into it. Sure OpenAI makes the case that it couldn't compete without being private, but really, who knows if that's really accurate.
I think that while ChatGPT is impressive Microsoft knows and accepts it has and will continue to have some serious short comings that won't actually wreck their business. Either that, or they've taken a very crazy gamble with everything, did they have something to lose and just threw all caution to the wind, including their own company and worse. I doubt it but let's see. It's fascinating to see where we end up from here, I was kind of scared about it myself at some stage, but now, I'm curious.
