> I have no idea how OpenAI can make money on this. This has to be a loss-leader to lock out competitors before they even get off the ground.
The worst thing that can happen to OpenAI+ChatGPT right now is what happened to DallE 2, a competitor comes up with an alternative (even worse if it's free/open like Stable Diffusion) and completely undercuts them. Especially with Meta's new Llama models outperforming GPT-3, it's only a matter of time someone else gathers enough human feedback to tune another language model to make an alternate ChatGPT.
