Words of spiteful relatives when they found you won the lottery.

"Your" data didn't built ChatGPT. It's trained on publicly available data that can be found on the Internet. Case point, if you give ChatGPT your name, it can't use that to tell you info about yourself.

Don't be like Disney and stake claims on public domain data.

>But actually trying out these features for yourself—or at least the ones that have already been publicly released—does not come cheap. Unlike ChatGPT, which captivated the world because it was free, GPT-4 is currently only available to non-developers through a premium service that costs $20 a month.

So, you need to pay to access GPT-4. Ok.

I'd love to comment on the rest of the article, but The Atlantic won't let me see it unless I subscribe.

I used to read the Atlantic every day. Then they went soft paywall so I read it in private-mode. Now they're hard paywall so I read other sites. I miss it, but I'm not adding on to the pile of subscriptions I already have.

What they really did is make copyright infringement too hard to trace, and stole everyone on the internet's content. It's theft really, but on a less pessimistic note, part of you is inside an AI the whole world can talk to now, if you posted anything useful enough in the last 20 years. That's weirdly interesting.

Yeah, I'm not paying to read that Atlantic article. But if anyone has trouble ponying up $20 a month (... giving up one latte a week, basically) for GPT-4, to be on the bleeding-edge of this new technology... you must not be very curious, or not in tech.

Anyway, even the free version is a revelation.

Do I think that I, as a member of the great unwashed, am somehow owed cos GPT scraped up information that's already been publicly available? Fuck no. ChatGPT already is a huge value-add for its ability to take common language queries, and its speed, and precision of the results.
