Basically agree -- feels off-putting, but not technically a wrong detail to add. An additional reason it rubs me the wrong way, however, is that I believe open-source software code is especially critical to ChatGPT family's capabilities. Not just for code-related queries, but for everything! (e.g. see this "lineage-tracing" blog post: https://yaofu.notion.site/How-does-GPT-Obtain-its-Ability-Tr...)

Thus, I honestly think firms operating generative AI should be walking on eggshells to avoid placing blame on "open-source". Rather, they really should going out of their way to channel as much positive energy towards it as possible.

Still, agree the charitable interpretation is that this just purely descriptive.
