I bet we're going through the cycle netflix went through. Cable was fractured and expensive, then netflix made it cheap and monolithic, then everyone realized there was money to be made in this new paradigm, then there was a legal fight over usage rights, then it got split up and partitioned into a bunch of different services, the combined cost of which is pretty expensive and individually each service kind of sucks. So I'm betting we're a few years away from stackoverflow, wikipedia, imdb, goodreads?, etc all having their own ai interfaces. Fine by me. chatgpt is a way better user experience than stackoverflow, and I'd probably use the wikipedia one, don't really care about anything else. It being an "anything tool" is kind of a novelty, I liked that I could make it "write an advertisement for a housecat in the style of a ford truck commercial, and use plenty of made up trademarks and patents for normal cat behaviors/features", but then lost interest when it refused to do the same thing for boobs.

These are all sites relying on volunteers to contribute the data, how would that work if their input becomes "invisible" ? Even volunteers want credit / to see the final result... (Mostly unrelated : note that the last two are now owned by Amazon.)

> but then lost interest when it refused to do the same thing for boobs. There’s a cottage industry of unaligned local LLM and image models from company leaks or released retrained public models dedicated specifically around letting you do this for “boobs” (or anything else, for that matter). It’s not hard to find these communities if you go looking (searching for E.G “local models general” will get you in the right direction), but be advised while they’re a great resource, they’re unabashedly NSFW and unabashedly boundary-pushing, as the subset of the populace dedicated to generating their own porn and distributing porn-related models tend to be uniquely dedicated individuals.
