There is a name collision between this organization “Open AI” and “OpenAI” - spaces matter. If I was running Open AI I would change branding to use their domain “Open.ai”
- kevincox 3y agoYeah, there is no way this isn't a trademark issue. You can see that there are already confused people in this comment thread.
- mandmandam 3y agoWell, the word 'open' is both incredibly generic, and very specifically what they're not. If there's confusion, it's pretty clear who started it.
- atonse 3y agoI’m not a lawyer but from my understanding of trademarks, that doesn’t matter. If it is confusing to consumers then it infringes. The genius is in “OpenAI” the actual company getting that name. And it’s just a name. They have no obligation to open their stuff. If these guys said OpenSourceAI or OpenModels or something then it could work. But IANAL. I just play one on the internet. :-)
- atonse 3y agoOh I didn’t realize this wasn’t OpenAI (the one everyone knows about). I was surprised they’d consider releasing their models and assumed it was to pre-empt some regulation. I predict they get shut down in no time. This is too confusing to consumers.
