The thing I don't understand about this strategy is that it itself shows that there really is no money to be made here. I mean it's a pretty obvious giveaway that:
1. they don't have the resources to build their own technology and probably never will
2. even if they did have, the best they could do is come up with something very similar to OpenAI's GPT, i.e. a (somewhat) generic AI model. This means that OpenAI can also easily compete with them.
All these companies are doing (if anything) is that they test the market for OpenAI (or Google, MS) for free.
