According to your definition no program that connects using rest to a webservice is open source. That is absurd.
Open Source is defined by a license, not by what a program does.
Also, it's trivial to connect such a program to another image recognition model if anyone wants.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 3y agoNo. That is a tone-deaf and disingenuous interpretation. If I read “open-source AI copilot”, I pretty strictly read this as implying that the model is open-source. And I’m far from an open-source purist! Hell, I’ve never once made a snarky comment about OpenAI “not being open” or anything!
- a2128 3y agoI just think it's a bit misleading to call something "open-source (xyz)" if it wholly depends on a proprietary service that provides (xyz). If you made an open-source implementation of the Discord client, it'd be misleading to call it "Open-source direct messaging and communities app". At least in that example it would be possible to reimplement the backend and make it truly open-source, but so far nobody has been able to reimplement GPT-4V in a way that it's nearly as useful. Hence why some people get super excited when they see "Open-source [...] AI (using vision)" and super disappointed when it's just another wrapper for OpenAI
- mwmercury 3y agoThis is definitely clickbait. Do you see any other GitHub url on HN that need to stick "open source" on its title?
