Yes - it should be everyone gets access, and they rate limit based on how much demand they could support. If that means everyone only gets 3 requests per day for GPT4, then so be it. That would be fair.
It's disappointing since Sama was a part of YC which does seem to care about merit and "fairness." So you'd hope he'd support the same principals to "support the little guy" and give everyone a shot at having the best tools.
At least GPT4 isn't good enough to use something like AutoGPT to actually be useful at self-developing large portions of software. Once AI is that good, API access will be critical. Entire infrastructure and first-mover advantage could be dependent on API access at that time... there would be AI pipelines that wouldn't have been possible months ago that a highly intelligent AI model could see to use instantly and build out in a day. Imagine if your competitor has access and you don't in that AI future.
- reneberlin 3y agoSooner or later you will have your own AIs, locally and selfhosted. You can have it now, but not exactly chatGPT, which is the argument of using openais-api here. I believe in the near future they will put AIs locally in your toaster and all toys, because they will become so cheap to embed offline.
- neotrope 3y agoTrue, but only in the long term. Cutting edge AI will continually provide a competitive advantage and access will result in better products. Once the diminishing returns of improvements drop off or when it gets "good enough", then it won't matter.
- neotrope 3y agoThe current batch of YC was all given access. I'd guess OpenAI has a profit sharing agreement to incentivize it. > At least GPT4 isn't good enough to use something like AutoGPT I worry that GPT-4 will continue to get better while access will still be limited.
