I decided to flag this article because it has to be fake.
The author never explains how he is able to intercept these API calls to OpenAI, etc. I definitely believe tons of these companies are just wrappers, but they'd be doing the "wrapping" in their backend, with only a couple (dumb) companies doing the calls directly to OpenAI from the front end where they could be traced.
This article is BS. My guess is it was probably AI generated because it doesn't make any sense.
- teiferer 11mo agoI find it shocking that most comments here just accept the article as fact and discuss the implications. The message might not even be wrong. But why is everybody's BS detection on ice in the AI topic space? Come one people, you can all do better than this! Thanks for flagging. Though whenever such a made up thing is flagged, we lose the chance to discuss this (meta) topic. People need to be aware how prevalent this is. By just hiding it every time we notice, we're preventing everybody to read the kind of comment you wrote and recalibrate their BS-meters.
- ElasticBottle 11mo agoI had the exact same thoughts. Even while I don't disagree with the premise, I'm so confused as to how they are intercepting the calls. Like I don't think 73% of companies are foolish enough to be calling their LLM provider from the front-end with their API key. Either they are doing something that they aren't mentioning, or this is just complete bogus.
