- speedgoose 4y agoChatGPT doesn’t have an open API. You may try to hack the CloudFlare bot protection to use it anyway but that’s not a good business idea. The GPT3 API is already not free and monetised.

- anigbrowl 4y agoWhere is AntiTrust on this? I have nothing against MS, business gonna business and all that, but they already have Copilot. A single company owning so much of a very much emerging market is bad for competition under any circumstances, and MS already has a history of abusing market dominance.

- abatilo 4y agoCopilot is calling out to OpenAI's Codex, so they don't really have anything on their own
