even if openai are assholes, chatgpt is still useful for things as long as you dont put too much trust in it. If that fucker buys it they will turn it into racist shitspewing garbage. Without it, regular people will have no decent or easy way to utilize ai and this new tech will benefit only the rich who will use it to oppress us even worse.
Stinky isnt an idiot, i wish he was. Anything he buys he can and will use to cause harm to us. So this would be bad for us all.
Regular users can use Gemini, Deepseek, Meta AI, and there will probably be many more services in the future.
deepseek has censorship which makes it unreliable. But hopefully someone will fix that since its opensource. So at least there is that. google is garbage in comparison to chatgpt and i havent tried anything meta has produced since i dont want to have anything to do with that filth, so i dont know anything about that one. So maybe there is some hope in long term, if things dont get worse elsewhere.
Deepseek only has censorship on their hosted site... if you run the open source model on your own hardware it doesn't seem to censor
Chatgpt is also censored.
Oh, I forgot about Claude. Last time I tried it, it seemed on par or even better that ChatGPT-4o (but was missing features like browsing).
Deepseek took the training of foundation models from a billionaire's game to a millionaire's game. If Elon wants an AI monopoly, it'll have to be done through litigation. Which, ya know, they're also trying.
