Is there a scenario where it isn’t?
Either (1) a competitor is able to do it better without their work or (2) a competitor is able to use their output and develop a better product.
Either way, given the costs, how do you justify investing in OpenAI if the competitor is going to eat their lunch and you’ll never get a return on your investment?
- unclebucknasty 2y agoThe scenario to which I was alluding assumed the latter (2) and, further, that OpenAI was unable to prevent that—either technically or legally (i.e. via IP protection). More specifically, on the legal side I don't see how they can protect their output without stepping on their own argument for ingesting everyone else's. And, if that were to indeed prove impossible, then that would be the catastrophic scenario. On your point (1), I don't think that's necessarily catastrophic. That's just good old-fashioned competition, and OpenAI would have to simply best them on R&D.
