Tell HN: I'm grateful to OpenAI for opening AI to the public

I know most people (including me) don't like OpenAI's anti-open-source practices, but honestly I understand the reason for that from a business perspective. BUT, I'm grateful to the company for opening up a decades-long research in AI to the general public by offering ChatGPT. Google, Microsoft, Apple, Meta, etc. had their chances before, but all of them decided not to release these models until OpenAI forced them to "dance". I can easily imagine a world without OpenAI in which Google still just publishes scientific papers and boasts about their PaLM model while keeping the access only to a handful Google engineers. Same thing with other FAANG. OpenAI is not perfect, but neither are the other companies.
