It sucks that OpenAI has no competition right now. They have every right to control their technology however they like. But it's a shame that they're being so stifling with that right, killing really fun stuff like you demonstrated.

But that monopoly won't last, and I think it's more than likely that competition will crop up within the next year. There's definitely a lot of secret sauce to getting a 175B parameter model trained and working the way OpenAI has. The people working there are geniuses. But it can still be reproduced, and will. Once competition arrives I'm hoping we'll see these shackles disappear and see the price drop as well. Meanwhile the open source alternatives will get better. We already have open source 6B models. A 60B model shouldn't be far off, and is likely to give us 90% of GPT-3.
