Because everyone else is using it and I've seen what it could do. I've used other large language models. I don't need to actually use it myself firsthand because I've observed millions of people using it secondhand. It's amazing for them but I just seen novelty in it and I don't see utility in it. I see utility in GitHub co-pilot. I see utility and being able to run gptj locally and then feeding that into visual studio code so I could run my own local GitHub copilot. I don't see any utility in a gated, run on someone else's computers, large language model.
People talk about monetizing it and somehow running apps off of it and all of this crap and all it does is benefit the creators of it. You will own nothing of it. You aren't running it on a computer that you own. You're going to be renting compute from them to run the thing that they made in hopes that you can make money off of it. It's silly! You're never going to come out on top in that proposition unless you can run it on hardware that you own and not just in the cloud because you're renting that hardware.

The birth of Google in 1998 also brought about the birth of the SEO industry. 25 years later, there's still an SEO industry despite being built on top of something they don't have any control over. The beauty of a market economy is that it allows for people monetizing something they own nothing of, and that's totally fine!
