OpenAI is an over-hyped, over-priced, and under-performing AI company. Fortunately, the underlying LLM/transformer technology is real and valuable and not at all dependent on OpenAI. It would be good to deflate some of the hype around OpenAI and other non-viable companies.
- bobxmax 2y agoCould you explain how exactly they're under-performing?

- bobxmax 2y agoI agree some of their models are losing ground, but blanketing Open AI overall as an overhyped underperforming company because of that is just silly.
- Yizahi 2y agoYou can adjust he headline like this: "The Future of Generative AI (Market) Rests On OpenAI", then it would be more precise. Basically - if OAI crashes, then it will take down all competitors, like bowling pins. No one will erase existing NN software from the hard drives of course.
- xnx 2y agoThat's a good way to think of it. Google, Microsoft, and Adobe will be fine. Not sure where Anthropic would sort out in an OAI crash scenario.
