My big issue with OpenAI is that it's not open. Their software is not open source. This is not how good science is done. People need to be able to examine and comment on one another's work.* Perhaps the business men need to be kept away from the scientists and their work.** I have commented previously on chatgpt and the alignment issue.***
* Groups make better decisions than individuals do.
** And it would be important to know just which members of the staff did the actual science as opposed to who were administrative/management types. I get the feeling the presenters aren't always the developers. This happens less in an academic setting. Probably OpenAI should have been started as an institute at some university.
