In order to remain competitive, OpenAI will need to make ChatGPT free. It's basically going to be a repeat of the browser war since all the major tech companies have their own version of AI that they can offer with their other products. The main issue is that they, OpenAI, don't have any other sources of revenue so they can't continue to give away the product without going broke. Yet, the big companies can do it forever since they have other sources of income. Also, it's unlikely that a big tech company like Microsoft or any FAANG would be able to get antitrust approval to buy OpenAI, so it's not going to happen. Unless OpenAI becomes a non-profit and can get funding from people who don't want the big tech players to have control over AI, I don't see a bright future for it. It's more likely to find a place similar to firefox where the big search engines pay it for the traffic it sends to them. MS buying it is not going to happen in 2023 or ever.
