The ability to talk about 'forbidden' topics is also a significant disadvantage. Just wait for the first moral panic targeting open source GPTs. I think that Open Source will exist (barring a legal ban), but the triumphalism is in my mind very unjustified. There's a fair chance closed source will get 99% of this market.
It's an advantage, because each user can apply different restrictions to Open Source AI models. If I'm writing a crime novel for adults - I want the assistant to be able to talk about sex and violence. But obviously - a corporate customer support chatbot should not talk about those things.
I understand why ClosedAI added those restrictions. But they are too inflexible.

Open models can talk about "forbidden" topics and can be extended by users. Both of them are significant advantages.
