I get the general techbro sphere doing this because they're fucking idiots, but you are the maintainers of this technology. You know this is ultimately a language model built to synthesize information from pre-existing data sets. This is extremely fucking ghoulish.
I hate the promotion of the idea that we should be using generative adversarial networks as search engines or encyclopedias so much it's unreal, literal misinfo generation machines :agony-shivering:
If you check out OpenAI's API pricing it's actually not terrible. I bet MS gets some kind of sweetheart pricing on top of it. They're probably siphoning your conversation with the AI to advertisers. Search is somehow the most profitable kind of software, so anything that gets more people doing searches while also providing better data is more profitable.
