Would appreciate openAI stops monopolizing the word AI, few years later they might get like Apple suing everyone with take down notices for everyone who’s using it.. also not impressed by anything open AI, as long as it’s isn’t open source and always under their mercy for pricing, restrictions, etc., I would rather use something else that’s community based.

Their direction is clear: * closed * pay per usage api to make money and have ability to shut down users * hide their research results * quickly build up data * quickly advance with Microsoft in bed * lobby law makers to regulate it * ...so entry barrier is higher for competition * ...so they secure as much pie for themselves as possible * exploit any other means to increase their dominant position and keep throwing rocks at others if possible They're open-for-business, not open-source. The best we can do is ignore them and support alternatives.

This website is not created by OpenAI and has nothing to do with them monopolizing the term AI... Are you sure you're not confusing OpenAPI and OpenAI? OpenAPI is a spec for HTTP APIs. Many AI applications are giving language models the capability to interact with OpenAPI documented APIs.

  I know what OpenAPI is.. but now you mentioned the confusion part, I think I was confused as the domain is openpm.ai similar to openai. However, my point still there about how openAI tries to monopolize anything about AI. Thanks for the heads up by the way!
