Most people don't care about local and private. They care about cheap and free ChatGPT is the cheapest they could get, which is better than all open access models.

Based on the (unverified)information I have been hearing in the research circle is that OpenAI invested heavily in data collection. One thing I heard is that they have hired experts to label lot of codes with information like complexity, correctness etc. Also the questions and RLHF data they get from real users is something open access models can't match.
Palm 2 chat is significantly worse than ChatGPT(free), even though it is larger and trained by experts in the field.
- mr_mitm 3y ago> Most people don't care about local and private. Right, but corporations do. And AI is a revolution because it makes workers substantially more efficient, not because it makes for a slightly better Google. If corporations want to leverage AI to make their workforce more efficient, it must be local and private in many cases. OpenAI is already experiencing friction in the EU.

- usrbinbash 3y agoThat doesn't change the fact that these corporations have an interest in data privacy and cost reduction. To wit, if MS wouldn't guarantee data security in european datacenters, they would be way less competitive in the EU. Many corporations run their own datacenters, have on premises mailservers and run their own backup solutions. Not everything is in the cloud.
