I don't think we have a free market (yet). Yes, there are like a million different "AI something" startups, but all of them seem to be calling OpenAI behind the scenes. (At this point, the ecosystem feels a bit like a frontier town next to the site of an UFO crash: Everyone is very busy trading alien artefacts, selling tools, exchanging tricks, building businesses on top of other businesses, etc - even though no one really knows what the artefacts are actually doing or whether or not the UFO might suddenly turn on again.) So if OpenAI or Microsoft decides to change the models or to forbid certain uses then the entire ecosystem is affected. I think it will all become more interesting when there are genuinely different models in use or when it becomes feasible for smaller businesses/projects to build their own models. I think LLaMA, Bard (eventually?) and that chinese model are some promising starts here. Especially with LLaMA's supposed leak.
