Hi! Your project and other projects based on this topic constitute a valid response to active curiosity on this subject. It will be in the interest of society for AI-powered search engines to enter the active development process and gather their unique user base. The only doubt is that as OpenAI and other AI "for-profit" companies close their projects to external analysis and development over time (see GPT-4), AI-powered applications will become closed boxes and the development potential of these projects will be limited. The active protest reactions that we can show on this issue can lose its effect over time, the masses can close their eyes in the face of hype and demand products that are harmful to us in the long run. For this reason, I think that the protest in this area should be made as a mass as soon as possible.

I may have stretched the subject a bit too much, I liked your project and other similar projects quite a lot. Not only did it answer the test question I just asked, it also corrected my grammatical errors in the question, causing me to be a little surprised swh. My request is that we, as a society, do not forget about the potential that we are losing by getting immersed in leading projects. AI-powered applications are great, but we must not forget our rights that these companies take away from us day by day.

Thank you for your comprehensive input.
- I have mixed feeling about opening/closing the technology. There are pros/cons to it. For example, we, especially people in this field have a strong curiosity about how giant technology solves their problems (like chatgpt). Therefore open-sourcing them will bring us rapid development in related fields (like the current AI development). However, I also understand that, malicious usage is also highly possible when doing so. For example, switching the reward function from chatgpt model from positive to negative may make a safe AI into the worst AI ever.
- Humans seem to not be able to stop technological advancement. Those technologies will come sooner or later.
- Yes I agree to preserve our rights today and the society should carefully think about how to deal with this unavoidable (AI-powered) future.

Thanks for your reply. If technological developments are opened to the masses, as you said, the speed of development will jump. We're talking about a much higher rate of technological development than a closed development environment can provide. It will never reach its potential for development under the monopoly of companies that use technology and science like a cow for profit.

On the other hand, the current developments and potentials under the monopoly of these companies are more conducive to malicious use. The company, which, like OpenAI, was built on the axis of control and good purposes in the development of artificial intelligence, has now become Microsoft's cow. Microsoft, which fired the ethics team before the introduction of GPT-4, and similar companies prefer to use artificial intelligence to gain power and worship power in unethical ways from the very beginning.

Rather than protecting the public against a potential that could be used for malicious purposes, these companies may use this potential to serve "their" unethical purposes for their own profit. In this case, they turn into "bad guys" in order to prevent malicious people from using the technological potential for their own benefit.

Artificial intelligence and technological development potential should not be monopolized by anyone. In this way, we are responsible for raising awareness ourselves and raising the awareness of the masses by doing our part. The current hype should not blind people.
