OpenAI is a $50B company that should be releasing serious products, the "scrappy hacker releasing a beta product that doesn't do much" as a defense doesn't apply.

I'd much rather them release early than not release at all. By your logic ChatGPT will still be in internal testing and the whole industry would be way behind where it is today

ChatGPT was released when they still had pretext of being a research-based nonprofit, and it was explicitly released as a free research preview.

Yeah I also wonder how come web scraping was so vilified in all ToS's but I guess if you spend a lot of energy on GPUs and pay OpenAI then it's legit.
