Comment on AI: Startup vs Incumbent Value (2022)

Comments

Why would I use a Google LLM or a Facebook LLM over OpenAI's LLM?

Google and Facebook are today's knowledge dealers. They do not profit from providing an LLM that sidesteps all their products and gives you the answer you are searching for directly. They want to influence your eyeballs. They will try to do this by injecting their own thought manipulation crap in their LLMs. I instinctively would not trust them. I would want an LLM that is pure in some sense. Unfortunately, even OpenAI is already debased, but for another reason.

But here you can see the value that a startup can provide over the current incumbents. A startup can provide an unadulterated knowledge base of the internet and be profitable. Whether that is OpenAI or one of its competitors I do not know, but Google and Facebook cannot do that. There is no gain for them.
